Comment
There's two varieties of this coin. One with coarse hair and one with fine hair. See attached image.Interesting fact
The 10 Won coin issued by North Korea in 2004 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Deng Xiaoping's birth features an image of Deng Xiaoping on one side and the National Emblem of North Korea on the other. The coin was made of aluminum, which is a relatively lightweight and corrosion-resistant metal that is often used in the production of coins. However, it's worth noting that the use of aluminum in coin production can be controversial, as some collectors and numismatists prefer coins made from more traditional metals like gold, silver, or copper. Despite this, the 10 Won coin remains a unique and interesting collector's item for those interested in numismatics or the history of North Korea.
