Interesting fact
The Red-handed tamarin coin from North Korea features an image of a tamarin, a small primate native to the tropical forests of Central and South America. It's interesting to note that the coin's design choice is unusual, as tamarins are not typically associated with North Korea or its culture. This coin was likely created as a collector's item or a gift for a specific occasion.
