| Obverse description | Central device depicts a finely detailed rendering of the Taedong Gate (Taedongmun), a historic multi-tiered Korean pagoda-style fortified gate tower set atop a stone rampart, surrounded by stylized foliage in the field. The legend 조선민주주의인민공화국 중앙은행 (Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) arcs around the upper periphery in Hangul, separated from the central design by a beaded inner border and an ornate foliate outer border. The denomination 20 원 appears at the base of the central device, flanked by the purity and weight specifications 1 oz and Ag 999 in Latin characters. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, finely engraved rooster standing in profile facing left, rendered with intricate feather detail against a deeply recessed black field from which radiating sunburst lines emanate outward toward the rim. The rooster's proud stance, elaborate plumage, and prominent comb and wattles are characteristic of Chinese Lunar zodiac imagery commemorating the Year of the Rooster. At lower left, a circular medallion device contains the date 2017 in Latin numerals. The composition is framed by a plain raised border. |
