The 13th World Festival of Youth and Students was held in Pyongyang in 1989, and North Korea spent years afterward issuing commemorative coinage tied to that event and its broader propaganda around international athletic and cultural exchange. By 1995, the regime was simultaneously hosting smaller festivals while the country was entering the early phase of the famine that would kill hundreds of thousands — hard currency from foreign coin collectors was one of several revenue streams actively cultivated through these issues.
