Beschrijving keerzijde Dynamic scene depicting Ahn Ryongbok (Ahn Yongbok), the historical Korean fisherman celebrated for defending Dokdo from Japanese encroachment, shown in vigorous action in the foreground with rocky coastal scenery and seabirds in the background. The legend '독도를 지켜낸 안룡복' ('Ahn Ryongbok who protected Dokdo') arcs along the upper rim in Hangul script. The date inscription 'Juche 93 (2004)' appears in the lower portion of the field, referencing both the North Korean Juche calendar year and the Gregorian equivalent.

Aanvullende informatie

This issue is one of several brass pieces struck by the DPRK in the early 2000s explicitly for foreign collectors rather than domestic circulation — North Korean won coins of this period were essentially non-functional as currency inside the country, where a parallel system of Foreign Exchange Certificates governed hard-currency transactions. Ahn Yongbok was a 15th-century Joseon-era figure who twice sailed to Japan to assert Korean sovereignty over Ulleungdo and Dokdo, islands still contested between South Korea and Japan today. Pyongyang's decision to commemorate him is transparently political.
