Interesting fact

The SS Prinzess Eitel Friedrich was a German passenger ship that was launched in 1907 and later became a naval training ship during World War I. It was eventually seized by the British and used as a troop transport ship. The ship was later sold to North Korea in 1997 and was renamed the "Kangwon Land Casino" and was used as a casino and resort until it was closed in 2018. The coin , the 5 Won (SS Prinzess Eitel Friedrich) 2000 from North Korea, was likely minted to commemorate the ship's history and its significance to North Korea.
