| Additional information |
The "Great Fatherland Liberation War" is the DPRK's official designation for the 1950–53 Korean War, a conflict North Korea frames as a defensive victory against American aggression — a narrative the state has maintained without revision for seven decades. The 65th anniversary falls in 2018, counting from the 1953 armistice, which Pyongyang treats as a triumph despite the peninsula remaining divided along virtually the same line where fighting began.
Commemorative copper issues of this type circulate almost exclusively in the collector market rather than domestic commerce, where hard currency is tightly controlled.
