| Aanvullende informatie |
North Korea's commemorative silver program of the mid-1990s was issued almost entirely for export — these coins were never intended to circulate domestically and were sold through foreign dealers and numismatic agencies to generate hard currency for the regime. The timing is pointed: 1995 fell squarely within the period of catastrophic famine that killed an estimated 600,000 to one million North Koreans, making the hard-currency earnings from collector coin sales a non-trivial budget line for Pyongyang.
