| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea occupies the central field, depicting a hydroelectric power station beneath Mount Paektu with a five-pointed star radiating rays above, the whole framed by sheaves of rice tied with a ribbon bearing an inscription, and a stylised red star at the apex. The Korean-script legend of the issuing authority curves along the upper periphery, with the fineness designation '999' to the right and '1 OZ' to the left in the mid-field. The denomination '10 WON' appears in bold Latin characters at the base, flanked by decorative foliate ornaments. |

The castle tower and medieval fortifications are rendered in detail against the warm chatoyant surface of the gemstone. The English-language legend 'FINAL ISSUE OF THE ESTONIAN CROWN' curves along the upper periphery, with the date '2004' flanked by two five-pointed stars positioned at the lower portion of the legend. |
