| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a long-running North Korean commemorative program that targeted foreign collectors almost exclusively — hard currency the DPRK needed and could not otherwise earn. The Polish złoty connection is purely nominal; these were never intended for domestic circulation and the face value bears no relationship to any functioning exchange rate.
KM#1001 is one of several foreign-currency-denominated issues from this period struck at the Mint of Poland in Warsaw, which maintained a commercial relationship with Pyongyang when few other minting facilities would.
