Comment
Minted in North KoreaInteresting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side and the German sailing ship, Gorch Fock, on the other. The ship was built in 1887 and was used as a training vessel for the German Navy. The coin's design is a nod to the ship's rich history and its significance in maritime culture.
