| Obverse description | Central field features the State Emblem of North Korea — a stylized hydroelectric dam and mountain landscape beneath a red five-pointed star, framed by sheaves of rice bound with a ribbon — rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The circular legend in Korean (Hangul) script reads '조선민주주의인민공화국중앙은행' (Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) along the upper periphery. The denomination '100원' appears in the lower center, flanked by the fineness '999' to the left and the weight '31g' to the right. The Juche year '주체106(2017)년' is inscribed along the lower periphery, indicating the Juche calendar year 106 corresponding to 2017. The entire design is encircled by a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
The Korean National Association — known in Korean as the Kungminhoe — was founded in San Francisco in 1909, emerging from the Korean immigrant community in Hawaii and California as an organized resistance body following Japan's forced protectorate over Korea in 1905. It functioned as a de facto government-in-exile for overseas Koreans, collecting taxes from members and funding independence agitation. The centennial would have fallen in 2009, making this 2017 issue eight years late — a timing anomaly with no clean explanation in the public record.
