Interesting fact

The 1 Won (Barque Krusenstern) 2001 coin from North Korea features a unique design, depicting a sailing ship called the "Barque Krusenstern" on the obverse, and the coat of arms of North Korea on the reverse. This coin is interesting because it is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was instead produced for collectors or special occasions. Additionally, the coin is made of copper-nickel, which is a common alloy used in coinage, but is still a unique feature of this particular coin.
