Interesting fact
The 5 Won (STS Sedov) 2005 coin from North Korea is unique in that it features a portrait of the Russian explorer and naval officer, Georgy Sedov, who led an expedition to the North Pole in 1914. This is significant because Sedov's expedition was the first to reach the North Pole without the use of dogs or other animals, and his team planted the Russian flag at the pole. The coin's design is a nod to the historic achievement and the friendship between North Korea and Russia.
