Interesting fact

The 20 Won (Sheep) 2003 coin from North Korea is part of a series of coins that were issued to commemorate the country's participation in the 2003 International Coin Exposition held in Pyongyang. The coin features an image of a sheep on one side and the North Korean coat of arms on the other. The use of brass as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to symbolize the country's rich cultural heritage and its commitment to economic development.
