Interesting fact
The Korean Turtle Ship coin from the Marshall Islands features a unique design that showcases a turtle ship, which was a type of warship used by the Korean navy during the Joseon Dynasty. The turtle ship was designed to resemble a turtle, with a shell-like hull and a dragon's head at the bow. This design was meant to intimidate enemies and protect the ship from harm. The coin's design is a nod to this historic and culturally significant symbol of Korean maritime history.
