| Reverse description | Central device depicts a detailed rendering of a traditional Korean multi-tiered pavilion, identified as the Pubyok Pavilion (Floating Emerald Pavilion) in Pyongyang, set upon a stepped stone platform and surrounded by foliage. The Korean legend 조선민주주의인민공화국 (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) arcs along the upper field in Hangul script, with the denomination 20 원 (20 Won) inscribed vertically to the right in the field. The denomination 20 WON appears in Latin script at the base of the central design. The entire central motif is enclosed within a beaded inner border, and the broad rim is decorated with an elaborate scrolling floral and cloud pattern in traditional Korean decorative style. |
