Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Won (Grossherzog Friedrich August) 2000 from North Korea made of Brass weighing 16.2g is that it features an image of Grand Duke Frederick Augustus, who was the last ruler of the Duchy of Oldenburg before it was annexed by Prussia in 1918. Despite being a coin from a relatively recent year, it has become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
