Additional information

Issued to mark the inauguration of Rungrado 1st of May Stadium in Pyongyang, which officially opened in 1989 and remains the largest stadium by capacity anywhere in the world. The fifteen-year gap between the stadium's opening and this coin's release is unexplained in North Korean numismatic literature — a not uncommon pattern with DPRK commemoratives, where issue timing frequently reflects internal political calendars rather than actual anniversaries.
