| Obverse description | The obverse carries a central vignette of the International Friendship Exhibition museum complex set against the backdrop of Mt. Myohyang, with the National Coat of Arms positioned to one side. Inscriptions in Korean identify the issuing authority and the note's purpose as a foreign currency exchange certificate, along with the date 1988. The overall design employs a multicolour guilloche underprint framing the architectural vignette. |
