| Obverse description | Two female workers stride forward in the central vignette — one holding an open book and the other carrying a sheaf of grain — set against an industrial cityscape with factory chimneys and buildings rendered in fine intaglio line work. The state emblem of the DPRK appears in the upper left, flanked by a guilloche underprint in blue-grey tones across the face. The denomination numeral '5' is printed in the lower left and upper right corners, with Korean inscriptions identifying the issuing authority running vertically along the left margin. |

A floral motif occupies the upper left corner, complemented by decorative guilloche border elements along both edges. The denomination numeral '5' appears in the upper right and lower left corners, with the issuing bank inscription in Korean running along the lower centre. |
