| 正面描述 | The State Arms of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea depicted centrally in high relief, featuring a hydroelectric power station beneath a five-pointed star radiating rays, flanked by sheaves of rice bound with a ribbon, and a scroll bearing the state name in Hangul script. The circular legend in Hangul reads the full official state name around the upper periphery, with the fineness designation '999' and weight indicator '5OZ' positioned to either side below the arms. The date '1995' appears in large numerals in the lower field, flanked by two crossed laurel branches rendered in fine detail against a mirror-polished proof field. |

Issued as part of North Korea's foreign currency generation program, this piece was never intended for domestic use — DPRK citizens had no access to hard currency collector coins. Throughout the 1990s, Pyongyang contracted several foreign mints and trading intermediaries to produce large-format silver issues sold exclusively to Western and Asian collectors, with proceeds flowing directly to state coffers during a period of acute economic collapse following the Soviet Union's dissolution.
At 155.5 grams of .999 silver in a 66mm format, this falls within the "5 troy ounce" category that was fashionable among world coin producers in the mid-1990s.
