Interesting fact
The 2010 North Korea 20 Won Year of the Monkey coin is a unique collector's item because it features an image of a monkey on the obverse side, which is not a common design element in North Korean coinage. The monkey is depicted climbing a tree, symbolizing agility and cleverness, which are traits associated with the Year of the Monkey in the Chinese zodiac. This coin is a rare example of a North Korean coin that showcases a non-political design, making it stand out from other coins issued by the country.
