Interesting fact
The 1988 North Korea 100 Won coin made of Gold (.9999) weighing 3.13 g is interesting because it features the portrait of Kim Il-sung, the founder and first leader of North Korea, on its obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's building. This coin was minted to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the central bank's establishment, and its gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item.
