Interesting fact
The 5 Won (Royal Clipper) 2001 coin from North Korea is unique in that it features a sailing ship, the Royal Clipper, on its obverse, which is unusual for a coin from a country that has a predominantly land-based economy and military. This suggests that the coin may have been intended to commemorate North Korea's naval capabilities or its aspirations for maritime trade and exploration.
