| Obverse description | The State Emblem of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is depicted centrally, featuring the Paektu-san mountain under a five-pointed star with radiating rays, flanked by sheaves of rice bound with a red ribbon and a hydroelectric dam in the foreground. The circular legend in Hangul reading '조선민주주의인민공화국중앙은행' (Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) runs along the upper periphery. The denomination '1원' (1 Won) appears at the base of the field, flanked by decorative foliate ornaments. The coin exhibits a deeply mirrored proof-quality field contrasting with frosted relief devices. |
