The archer is shown in profile facing left, wearing a cap and sporting equipment including a sight and arm guard. The legend 'OLYMPIC GAMES 2008' arcs across the upper field in bold Latin letters. The year '2006' appears in the lower left field, and the Hangul inscription '«활쏘기경기»' (Archery competition) is positioned along the lower rim. |

North Korea's foreign-currency commemorative program has operated largely through Pobjoy Mint and a handful of European intermediaries since the 1970s, producing coins almost entirely for export sale — pieces that never circulate domestically and are effectively hard-currency revenue instruments for the regime. The 2006 series sits squarely in that tradition.
