Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Won (Kim Jong Il and Putin) 2000 from North Korea made of Brass weighing 28.2g is that it features an unusual combination of leaders. The coin bears the images of Kim Jong Il, the former Supreme Leader of North Korea, and Vladimir Putin, the current President of Russia. This coin was issued in 2000, a year before Kim Jong Il's death, and it is a rare example of a coin featuring two leaders from different countries.
