Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Henry Hudson Halfmoon coin is that it features an image of the English explorer Henry Hudson, who is known for his expeditions to the Arctic and his attempt to find a northwest passage to the Pacific Ocean. Despite being an English explorer, Hudson's voyages were sponsored by the Dutch East India Company, and he sailed under a Dutch flag. This coin, issued by North Korea in 2004, highlights Hudson's contributions to the field of exploration and serves as a reminder of the international nature of his expeditions.
