| Obverse description | The obverse bears the full Korean-language inscription identifying the issuing authority, the Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, arranged along the upper periphery in Hangul script. The denomination '10 Won' appears prominently in the central field, with the dual dating 'Juche 109 (2020)' inscribed below, referencing the North Korean Juche calendar system. The design is rendered in a plain, typographic style characteristic of contemporary North Korean commemorative coinage. |

| Additional information |
The "1,000-Mile Path of Liberation" refers to the route Kim Il-sung is said to have walked as a young man in the late 1920s, traveling from Manchuria back to Korea to organize anti-Japanese resistance — a journey the North Korean state has elevated into foundational mythology. The historical record for the actual journey is thin; the ideological infrastructure built around it is not.
Brass issues of this scale from the Central Bank of Korea are rarely intended for circulation. Most surface through Chinese intermediaries and enter collector markets having never passed through a single North Korean hand.
