Interesting fact
The 1 Won (Grossherzog Friedrich August) 2000 coin from North Korea is interesting because it features an image of a German prince, Friedrich August, who was a member of the royal family of Saxony and a great-grandson of King Frederick Augustus I of Saxony. This is unusual because North Korea is a communist country that does not typically celebrate royalty or aristocracy. It is also one of the few coins issued by North Korea that features a non-Korean person.
