Interesting fact
The 7 Won (Steamship Queen Maria) 2003 coin from North Korea is unique in that it features a steamship on its obverse, which is unusual for a coin from a country that has historically been known for its military and political propaganda on its currency. The coin's design highlights the importance of maritime trade and commerce for the country, and it's a departure from the usual themes seen on North Korean coins.
