7 Won 1976 Innsbruck Winter Olympic Games, ski jumping

North Korea's Olympic commemorative series produced throughout the early 2000s has a peculiar backstory: the DPRK issued coins celebrating international sporting events it was largely barred from or marginally participated in, targeting the foreign collector market almost exclusively. Hard currency generation, not national pride, drove the program. Most pieces were struck by foreign minting contractors and never entered domestic circulation.

The 1976 Innsbruck Games themselves were notable for the eleventh-hour replacement of Denver as host city after Colorado voters rejected the funding referendum in 1972.
