| Obverse description | Central motif depicts the Taedong Gate (Taedongmun), a historic multi-tiered Korean traditional pavilion rendered in fine relief, surrounded by stylized foliage at its base. The Hangul legend of the issuing authority curves along the upper periphery of the coin, while the denomination '20 WON' is inscribed in Latin characters along the lower exergue. The architectural detail of the gate's double-eaved roofline and stone platform is rendered with considerable precision. |

A beaded inner border frames the central composition. A Hangul inscription identifying the artifact appears to the left of the kettle, and a rectangular seal-style cartouche is positioned to the right.
