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 obverse side of the coin depicts the national emblem of North Korea, while the reverse side features an image of a traditional Korean drum, known as a "janggu." This drum is an important symbol of Korean culture and is often used in traditional music and dance performances. The coin's design serves as a nod to North Korea's rich cultural heritage and is a fascinating aspect of this coin.
