| Obverse description | The state arms of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea occupy the central field, depicting a hydroelectric power station and a mountain landscape below a radiating star, flanked by sheaves of rice bound with a ribbon bearing the inscription in Korean script. The weight '7g' appears to the lower left and the fineness '999' to the lower right of the arms. The date '1996' is inscribed along the lower rim, flanked by two olive branches, while the Korean legend naming the state runs around the upper periphery. |

| Additional information |
North Korea's panda-themed coinage from the 1990s was produced almost entirely for the foreign collector market — hard currency the regime desperately needed following the collapse of Soviet subsidies and the onset of the catastrophic famine years. KM#518 was never intended to circulate domestically.
