North Korea issued a series of brass fauna coins in the early 2000s primarily for the international collector market rather than domestic circulation — hard currency from foreign buyers was a reliable revenue stream for a sanctions-pressured government. The megabat series drew particular interest from thematic collectors, though the coins were never legal tender in any practical sense inside the DPRK, where the domestic won operated under a completely separate monetary regime.
