| Obverse description | The National Coat of Arms of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is depicted in the central field, featuring a hydroelectric power station and mountain landscape surmounted by a five-pointed star radiating sunbeams, flanked by sheaves of grain bound with a ribbon. The circular legend in Hangul script reads the full name of the issuing state and bank, running along the upper periphery. The denomination '오5원' (5 Won) appears in the lower central field flanked by decorative foliate sprigs, with the date '1987' inscribed below in the exergue. The design is executed with a deeply contrasted proof-style finish against a mirror field. |

Radiating sunbeams fill the upper field in a semicircular arrangement, symbolising the ideological significance of the site. The lower field is rendered in deep relief against a mirrored background, with a decorative laurel branch arching across the bottom. The Hangul inscription '만경대고향집' (Mangyongdae Hometown House) appears on a ribbon-like banner in the lower legend area. |
