Interesting fact
The 1 Won (Hong Kong Unification) ND (2001) coin from North Korea is interesting because it features an image of the Hong Kong skyline, despite Hong Kong being a Special Administrative Region of China and not a part of North Korea. This highlights the unique political and cultural relationship between Hong Kong and North Korea.
