The 1 Won (Year of the Pig) 2007 coin from North Korea made of Brass weighing 28g is a unique collector's item, as it features an image of a pig on one side and the North Korean coat of arms on the other. Pigs are considered auspicious animals in Korean culture, symbolizing good luck and prosperity. This coin is a rare and fascinating piece of numismatic history, especially given the limited mintage and the fact that it was never circulated.
