The circular legend in Hangul script reads along the upper periphery, giving the full name of the issuing state. The weight '7g' and fineness '999' appear in the lower field on either side of the arms, while the date '1995' is inscribed along the lower border, flanked by decorative laurel sprigs. |

| Additional information |
North Korea's participation in the 1998 World Cup commemorative market was purely commercial — these coins were struck for export sale through Pobjoy Mint and similar intermediaries, never intended to circulate domestically. The DPRK issued dozens of such pieces through the 1990s, licensing foreign sporting events it had no political connection to, as hard currency generation through numismatic exports was one of the few reliable revenue streams available to the regime.
