Interesting fact
The 1998 North Korea 5 Won coin featuring the Sino-Korean Friendship Tower is interesting because it features an image of the tower, which was built to commemorate the friendship between North Korea and China, on one side, and the North Korean coat of arms on the other. This coin is made of brass and weighs 9.25 grams. It is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation and was likely produced in limited quantities for collectors or special occasions.
