Interesting fact
The 20 Won (Year of the Horse) ND (2010) coin from North Korea is notable for its unique design, which features a stylized horse on the obverse (front side) and the National Emblem of North Korea on the reverse (back side). The National Emblem is a symbol of the country's national identity and features a depiction of Mount Paektu, a sacred mountain in Korean culture. The use of brass as the material for the coin adds to its distinctiveness, as it is not a commonly used metal in coin production. Overall, this coin is a fascinating piece of numismatic history that offers a glimpse into the unique cultural and political context of North Korea.
