Interesting fact
The 10 Won (Killer Whale) coin from North Korea, made of Aluminium and weighing 5.3g, is interesting because it features a unique design of a killer whale on one side and the North Korean coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 2001 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant for general circulation but rather for collectors. It's a rare and unique piece for coin collectors, especially those interested in North Korean numismatics.
