| Obverse lettering | 北朝鮮中央銀行券 拾五錢 1947 (Translation: Banknote of the Central Bank of North Korea Fifteen Chon) |
| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in reddish-brown on cream paper and is composed entirely of ornamental guilloche work without a pictorial vignette. Two large bold numeral 15 counters, each set within fine engine-turned rosette panels, flank a central circular guilloche medallion enclosing a stylised Korean character cypher. Hangul inscriptions arc across the upper register above the central medallion, and acanthus-scroll flourishes fill the lower border, all contained within a scalloped outer frame. |
