50 Won

North Korean won notes of this period occupy an odd category in collector reference systems — the "CS" designation in the Pick numbering indicates a "collectors' series," meaning these were issued specifically for foreign currency shops and tourist use, not for domestic circulation among ordinary citizens. The North Korean dual-currency system kept hard-currency coupons strictly separate from the domestic won used by the general population.

The 2002 date places this note just before the July 2002 economic reforms, which partially acknowledged the existence of market prices for the first time in the DPRK's post-war history.
