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, and it's interesting to see it featured on a coin from North Korea, a country that is often associated with a different set of symbols and imagery. The use of a non-circulating coin also adds to the uniqueness of this coin, as it's not meant to be used as a regular form of currency, but rather as a collector's item or a symbol of diplomacy.
