The date printed on this note — 30 April 1945 — is not a printing date. It commemorates the founding mythology of the Korean Workers' Party regime, and the note itself was issued in 2005 as part of a commemorative series marking the 60th anniversary of that event. North Korean high-denomination commemoratives of this period were rarely released into general circulation; most were distributed through state channels, presented as gifts, or exported for hard currency.
P#47D denotes a specific signature or paper variety within the broader 47 type grouping — collectors should verify the precise signing combination, as values diverge significantly between varieties.
