KOREAN COINS & CURRENCY
FIRST COINS OF NORTH KOREA 
This set includes the five coins used
in general circulation in North Korea until the early 21st century. All five
coins are aluminum and have the national arms on the obverse. The 1, 5 and 10
Chon dated 1959 were the first coins issued by North Korea. The denomination is
on the reverse. The 1978 50 Chon features an equestrian statue leaping over the
sun. The 1987 1 Won depicts the National Palace. Because it is a closed
society, North Korean coins are difficult to obtain.
