| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed depiction of the Leaning Tower of Pisa dominates the central field, rendered in high relief with its characteristic tilt and multi-tiered Romanesque arcaded galleries clearly delineated. The adjacent Pisa Cathedral (Duomo) is visible to the right, with its domed roof and colonnade facade, while two stylised clouds appear in the upper right field. Four small six-pointed stars flank the design on either side at the mid-field. The curved legend 'LEANING TOWER OF PISA' arcs around the upper periphery, with 'WONDERS OF THE WORLD' along the lower periphery, and the date '2009' inscribed in the exergue. |

North Korea has issued commemorative coinage through foreign minting arrangements since the 1980s, largely as hard-currency earners targeting collectors outside the country — revenue the regime could repatriate without engaging normal trade channels. This piece is part of that broader program, which has produced hundreds of types with little connection to domestic circulation or North Korean cultural identity.
KM#1248 is struck in 1g of .999 gold, placing it in a category of fractional issues produced in sufficient numbers to remain readily available on the secondary market despite their exotic issuer.
