North Korea issues commemorative currency on a reliable political calendar, and Kim Il Sung's 95th birthday in 2007 generated a fresh print run of the 100 Won denomination. These collector-targeted issues circulate in name only — they are sold in presentation folders to tourists and foreign buyers at Pyongyang's official shops rather than passed through any domestic transaction.
Pick 53 belongs to a series that has been printed repeatedly with near-identical designs but different commemorative pretexts. The "printed" date of 30 April 1945 embedded in the note's data almost certainly refers to a legacy plate element or administrative record rather than actual press time for this issue.
