| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea occupies the central field, depicting a hydroelectric power station before a mountain landscape, surmounted by a five-pointed star emitting rays, and flanked by sheaves of rice bound with a ribbon bearing the state name in Hangul. The circular legend around the periphery reads the name of the Central Bank in Hangul, with the weight '7g' and fineness '999' inscribed in the field to the left and right respectively. The date '1997' appears in the lower exergue, flanked by two small laurel sprigs. |

North Korea began issuing collector-oriented silver pieces in the 1980s primarily as hard currency earners, sold abroad through state trading companies while remaining entirely outside domestic circulation. The 1997 date places this coin in the midst of the Arduous March famine, a period of catastrophic food shortages during which the regime nonetheless maintained its foreign numismatic program — foreign exchange had its own logic in Pyongyang.
The panda theme was almost certainly chosen to appeal to the established Chinese collector market, piggybacking on the prestige of the Chinese Panda series launched by the People's Bank of China in 1982.
