| Obverse description | The obverse presents a vignette of three figures — two young men and a young woman in traditional and formal attire — set against a fine guilloche underprint with a radiant sunburst and architectural elements in the background. The Korean state emblem appears at upper left, flanked by the issuing authority inscription in Korean characters, while a red commemorative overprint in Korean reads '조선민주주의인민공화국 창건 70돐 (1948–2018)'. The denomination '50' appears in large numerals at lower left, with the value in Korean script at lower right and serial number at lower left. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is centred on an intaglio rendering of the Monument to the Founding of the Korean Workers' Party in Pyongyang, its three iconic stone pillars — bearing a hammer, sickle, and writing brush — rising above a broad plinth with an inscription frieze and flanking trees. A fine guilloche underprint in pale violet tones frames the composition, with the issuing authority name in Korean at upper left and the denomination '50' in numeral and Korean script at upper right and lower right respectively. |
