The circular Hangul legend naming the Central Bank of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea runs along the upper periphery, while the date 2002 appears in the exergue below the arms. |

Issued under the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) banner, this piece belongs to a series of North Korean aluminum coins produced in the early 2000s ostensibly in support of international food security programs — a striking piece of political theater from a country that had suffered catastrophic famine throughout the late 1990s, with estimates of between 240,000 and 3.5 million deaths depending on the source. Whether these coins ever meaningfully circulated inside the DPRK is doubtful; the domestic economy operated largely on ration coupons and barter during this period.
