Interesting fact
The interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Won (Barque Krusenstern) ND (2001) from North Korea made of Brass is that it features the Barque Krusenstern, a Russian sailing ship that was used for expeditions to the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic in the early 19th century. The ship was named after its captain, Adam Johann von Krusenstern, who was a prominent explorer and navigator of the Russian Navy. The coin's design highlights the ship's historic significance and its connection to North Korea's maritime history.
