| Additional information |
North Korea has issued a substantial volume of collector-focused wildlife coinage since the 1990s, largely targeting foreign buyers through intermediaries — domestic circulation of such pieces was never the intent. The Fairy Pitta, a migratory passerine that breeds across East Asia including the Korean Peninsula, carries genuine regional relevance, though that ecological detail is somewhat incidental to the coin's commercial purpose.
