| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national emblem of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea at centre, depicting a hydroelectric dam and power lines set against a mountain landscape, surmounted by a five-pointed star radiating rays of sunlight, and flanked on each side by sheaves of rice bound with a ribbon bearing the inscribed name of the state in Hangul. The circular legend 조선민주주의인민공화국 (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) runs along the upper periphery in Hangul characters. Decorative floral scroll elements appear at the lower left and right of the inner field, and the date 1959 is inscribed at the base, all rendered in low relief on a plain field. |
