| Obverse description | The obverse of this rectangular aluminium piece features the state emblem of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea positioned to the left of the field, depicting the Paektu-san hydroelectric power station framed by ears of rice and surmounted by a red star, with radiating rays of light. To the right of the emblem, the Korean-script legend reads the full state name at the top, followed by the issuing authority and the denomination, with the Juche year and Gregorian year inscribed at the base. The mirror-polished field provides strong contrast against the raised lettering and relief elements. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a detailed low-relief naturalistic scene depicting a Seymouria, the Permian-era tetrapod, rendered in left-facing profile as it rests upon a rocky outcrop. A second, smaller individual is visible in the middle ground, evoking a habitat setting with sparse prehistoric vegetation rendered in fine detail to the right. The composition fills the rectangular field, conveying the animal's robust, lizard-like form with careful attention to its limb and body proportions. The Latin legend PREHISTORIC ANIMALS-SEYMOURIA arcs along the upper border of the field. |
