Additional information

North Korea has issued numerous commemorative pieces for hard-currency export rather than domestic circulation, and this dinosaur series falls squarely into that category — produced to generate foreign exchange, not to spend in Pyongyang. At 8.3 grams in aluminium, the weight suggests a large-diameter piece unusually heavy for the metal, which points to significant thickness rather than a broad flan.
