Interesting fact
The 20 Won (Prinzessen Charlotte) 2003 coin from North Korea is unique in that it features a portrait of Princess Charlotte, the daughter of King Gojong, who ruled Korea from 1863 to 1907. This coin was issued to commemorate her birthday, and it's one of the few coins issued by North Korea that features a member of the royal family.
