Reverse description	A colorfully enameled central motif depicts a pair of Mandarin Ducks (Aix galericulata) swimming on a stylized blue waterway, the male prominently rendered in vivid green, orange, and white plumage in the foreground, the female shown in subdued grey and white tones behind him. The scientific name AIX GALERICULATA is inscribed in raised Latin capitals along the upper legend, and the denomination 100 WON appears in the lower exergue in bold lettering. The naturalistic, polychrome enamel treatment gives the design a pictorial quality characteristic of North Korean wildlife commemorative issues.
