Comment
KM# 140 is pictured in the Krause catalog and appears to be an identical coin, but with "The 25th Basel European Coin Convention" instead of the Singapore show around the edge.Interesting fact
The 1996 North Korea 20 Won coin, issued to commemorate the Singapore International Coin Show, features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins.

The coin's design serves as a nod to North Korea's rich cultural heritage and is a fascinating aspect of this coin.
