Interesting fact
The 1 Won (Blue Monkey) coin from North Korea features a unique design of a blue monkey on one side and the North Korean coat of arms on the other. It's interesting to note that the blue monkey is not a commonly found animal in North Korea, and it's believed that the coin was designed to promote the country's exotic wildlife. Additionally, the coin's brass composition and 17.70g weight make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
