Interesting fact
The 20 Won (Year of the Rooster) 2013 coin from North Korea is unique in that it features a rare image of a rooster on a North Korean coin. This is significant because the rooster is not a common symbol in North Korean culture, and its appearance on the coin may indicate a shift in the country's cultural or political priorities. Additionally, the coin's copper composition and 23.2g weight make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in unique or rare coins.
