Reverse description	The reverse depicts a detailed three-quarter frontal view of the Arch of Triumph (개선문) in Pyongyang, a massive granite triumphal arch constructed to commemorate Kim Il-sung's role in the resistance against Japanese colonial rule, with the years '1925' and '1945' inscribed on the pylons. The arch is rendered in fine relief with architectural detail including rusticated stonework, decorative friezes, and relief sculptures flanking the central barrel-vaulted opening. A continuous border of raised beads encircles the design. The inscription '개선문' appears in Korean characters below the monument in the lower field.
