The International Friendship Exhibition at Mount Myohyang is a vast underground complex built to house the gifts presented to Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il by foreign heads of state and delegations — reportedly over 220,000 items by the mid-1990s. North Korea issued commemorative coinage around its promotion as a showcase of the regime's international standing, a political calculation rather than a numismatic tradition. These brass issues saw negligible domestic circulation, produced largely for export through state trading companies to generate hard currency.
