Interesting fact
The 2010 North Korea 20 Won Year of the Pig coin is notable for its unique design, featuring an image of a pig on the obverse (front side) and the National Emblem of North Korea on the reverse (back side). The pig is depicted in a standing position, with its head facing left and its tail curled around its body. The design is surrounded by a rim that includes the inscription "2010 Year of the Pig" in Korean characters. This coin is a non-circulating commemorative coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather as a collector's item to celebrate the Year of the Pig.
