| Additional information |
North Korea issued a series of commemorative silver pieces throughout the early 2000s marketed almost exclusively to foreign collectors through intermediaries in China and Europe — the domestic population had no access to hard currency coinage of this kind. This piece, struck three years before the tournament it commemorates, reflects the lead time required by the foreign export numismatic trade rather than any proximity to the event itself.
