| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea occupies the central field, depicting a hydroelectric dam and power transmission pylon framed by sheaves of rice, surmounted by a five-pointed star with radiating rays above Mount Paektu. The circular legend in Hangul script reading '조선민주주의인민공화국중앙은행' (Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) arcs around the upper periphery. Below the arms, the denomination '1500원' and the date '2007' appear in the lower field, flanked by the weight specification '31g' to the left and the fineness '999' to the right. |

| Reverse description | Two African Cape Buffalos (Syncerus caffer) are depicted in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The larger animal stands in full profile facing left in the middle ground, its massive curved horns and muscular body rendered in fine detail, while a second buffalo occupies the foreground with head lowered toward the ground. A stylized savanna landscape with acacia trees and a watering hole is suggested in the right background through engraved horizontal lines and low-relief vegetation. The composition is unlettered, with no inscriptions or legends. |
