North Korea produced distinct coin sets in the early 1970s for foreign visitors, separated deliberately from domestic circulation coinage. The "socialist visitor" designation — as opposed to the parallel "capitalist visitor" issues — determined which currency foreigners from allied Soviet-bloc nations received when exchanging money upon entry. The two streams were not interchangeable domestically, functioning as a crude but effective mechanism for tracking and controlling foreign exchange within the country.
KM#10 belongs to that segregated tourist currency infrastructure, which remained in use until the won reform of the late 1970s rendered the distinctions increasingly unworkable.
