Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Won (Cruise Ship; Aluminium) ND (2001) from North Korea made of Aluminium weighing 6.7 g is that it features an image of a cruise ship on its obverse side, which is unusual for a coin from North Korea, as the country is not known for its cruise ship industry. This coin was likely issued to commemorate a specific event or occasion, such as a visit from a foreign dignitary or a national celebration.
