North Korea ran parallel currency systems for decades, issuing separate notes for foreign visitors depending on their ideological classification. This note — the "capitalist visitor" series, distinguished by a red serial number prefix — was one of three denominations circulated alongside identically designed "socialist visitor" equivalents and a separate set for use by Koreans themselves. The division was enforced at point of exchange, not on the street, and the notes were accepted only at designated hard-currency shops called "dollar stores," inaccessible to ordinary citizens.
The Foreign Trade Bank began issuing these won certificates in 1988 ahead of the XIII World Festival of Youth and Students, held in Pyongyang that summer — one of the largest such events ever staged, drawing over 22,000 participants. The notes were designed in part to prevent foreign currency from entering general circulation while still extracting hard currency from visitors.
Production of the series is widely attributed to H. Giesecke & Devrient.
