| Obverse description | Central device depicts a detailed high-relief rendering of the Taedong Gate (East Gate of Pyongyang), a historic multi-tiered traditional Korean pavilion gate, set against a mirror-polished field. The architectural structure is rendered with fine engraving detail showing tiered rooflines with upswept eaves and a stone base platform with flanking steps, with decorative foliage at the lower field. The Hangul legend of the issuing authority curves along the upper periphery, while the Latin denomination '20 WON' appears in the exergue at the bottom. |
