| Additional information |
Issued as part of North Korea's hard-currency export coinage program, this piece was never intended for domestic circulation — Pyongyang produced collector silver throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s specifically to generate foreign exchange, with distribution handled almost entirely through overseas dealers and trading companies rather than any conventional numismatic channel.
