Interesting fact

The 1987 North Korea 500 Won silver coin commemorating the 1986 Football World Championship in Mexico is interesting because it features a unique design that showcases the country's passion for football, also known as soccer. The coin's obverse side features a stylized image of a football player in action, while the reverse side depicts the map of Mexico with the tournament's logo and the year 1986 inscribed at the bottom. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists and football enthusiasts alike, given its limited mintage and the fact that it was issued by a country that is not widely known for its football tradition.
