| Obverse description | Central device depicts the state emblem of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea — an oval shield bearing a hydroelectric dam and mountain landscape beneath a radiant five-pointed star, encircled by sheaves of rice bound with a ribbon, with olive branches extending across the lower field. The Hangul legend 조선민주주의인민공화국중앙은행 (Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) arcs around the upper periphery. The denomination 20 WON appears in Latin characters along the lower border, flanked by the fineness indicator 999 and the weight 31g inscribed in the field to either side of the emblem. |

The cat rests upon a stylized surface with flowing linear elements suggesting fabric or a cushion. Along the lower border, the Hangul legend 고양이 and the Latin inscription A CAT appear in raised lettering, identifying the subject. |
