Interesting fact
The Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen 5 Won coin from North Korea, issued in 2001, features an image of Röntgen's famous X-ray experiment on its reverse side. The experiment, conducted in 1895, involved passing X-rays through a human hand and capturing the resulting image on a photographic plate, which helped to reveal the internal structures of the hand without the need for surgery. This experiment played a significant role in the development of diagnostic imaging technology and earned Röntgen the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.
