| 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 pylons framed by sheaves of rice tied with a ribbon, surmounted by a five-pointed star radiating rays above. The circular legend in Hangul script reading the full name of the issuing state runs along the upper periphery, interrupted by a raised dot separator on each side. The denomination '20원' and the Juche calendar date '주체 105(2016)년' are inscribed in two lines in the lower field beneath the arms. |

| Obverse lettering | • 조선민주주의인민공화국중앙은행 • 20원 주체 105 (2016) 년 (Translation: Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, 20 Won, Juche year 105 (2016)) |
| Reverse description | The reverse features a dynamic depiction of a Sangmo dance performer rendered in detailed relief at the centre of the field. The dancer is shown in traditional Korean folk costume, wearing the characteristic Sangmo hat — a conical headpiece adorned with long paper or feather streamers (pi-ji) that trail in a sweeping arc as the performer moves their head. The composition captures the vigour and fluidity of this traditional folk art. A Hangul legend arcs along the upper and lower periphery, identifying the commemorative theme and subject. |
