| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a finely detailed relief depiction of a traditional multi-tiered Korean palace pavilion, rendered in a highly detailed architectural style with characteristic curved eaves and decorative bracketing. The legend 조선민주주의인민공화국중앙은행, reading 'Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea', curves along the upper periphery in Hangul script. The denomination '20 원' (20 Won) appears in the lower field beneath the architectural motif. The mirrored proof field provides a reflective background to the raised design elements. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field presents a vivid colourised depiction of a sow facing left, accompanied by two piglets beneath her, symbolising the Year of the Pig in the Chinese lunar zodiac cycle. Colourised floral and fruit motifs — including sunflowers and pomegranates — adorn the left and right fields in rich polychrome enamel. At the upper centre, a Chinese seal-script character for 'pig' (亥) is displayed within a rectangular cartouche in raised relief. Along the lower periphery, a Latin legend enumerates the recurring years of the Pig in the twelve-year zodiac cycle: 1971·1983·1995·2007·2019·2031. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
North Korea's commemorative brass issues from this period were produced almost exclusively for the export collector market — hard currency the regime badly needed under intensifying sanctions. Domestic circulation of foreign-exchange coins was effectively nonexistent; these pieces were sold through state-controlled outlets and overseas dealers, never touching the pockets of ordinary North Koreans.
The twelve-year lunar cycle series gave Pyongyang a reliable annual product line requiring minimal design overhead.
