| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea occupies the central field, depicting a hydroelectric dam and power lines before a mountain landscape, surmounted by a five-pointed star radiating rays, the whole flanked by sheaves of rice bound with a ribbon inscribed in Hangul. Decorative cloud-scroll motifs flank the lower portion of the design. The Hangul legend naming the issuing authority arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '1 원' and the date '2001' appear in the lower field below the arms. |

| Reverse description | A full-length figure of Sonnyo, the legendary fairy princess of Mount Kumgang, is depicted in dynamic flight across the field, her flowing robes and long silk scarves billowing dramatically behind her as she plays a transverse flute. She wears a crown, bead necklaces, and ornamental bracelets rendered in fine detail. The rocky, jagged peaks of Mount Kumgang are portrayed in low relief along the lower field, evoking the celebrated Korean landscape. A beaded inner border frames the design, and the Latin legend 'FAIRY OF MT. KUMGANG PLAYING FLUTE' arcs along the upper periphery. |
