Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design of a giant panda, which is not commonly found on coins. The giant panda is a symbol of peace and friendship in Chinese culture, and its inclusion on the coin may represent North Korea's desire to promote positive relations with other countries. Additionally, the use of silver (.999) in the coin's composition adds to its value and collectibility.
