Hi, @Stackem.

 

North korean silver coins are very difficult to find, because their very limited mintage and because import/export from and to North Korea is almost non-existent, all the countries around the world excepting Russia and China being their "enemies".

Only very few of these coins have the chance to penetrate the blockage, mostly via China - Hong-Kong, because are very collectible for niche collectors. This is the reason are apparently expensive. Their real price is way higher than £80/each, because are not for sale too often. I could find only one silver 1oz  coin 20 Won for sale on Ebay, italian seller, asking over £150 for his coin, see https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KOREA-20-Won-Silver999-31-g-65th-Ann-Anti-US-aid-to-DPRK-Pyongyang-coin/385010843643?hash=item59a46f3ffb:g:cjoAAOSwtZVi0rXX&amdata=enc:AQAHAAAAsNQ6da2azLH4fo6i4EhoAMfh00R8FOAG432XTl+LldP+9i92JD3Ccpj1uvecIYTAl8tgL34Bc8TM+AVPWDIzlRFC4SXNGXQrHstXOO6ljomKiIipfJM8CtQE4HVzLghSoU4Nd7+InX/uXbGdbMm/hZIJ09xTQ2M/Per7wF0LPF+yi45hPPv/vPu/7U1PoMayYBWKmeeMmQ4Kp9WCFPAvkl8DwWJu02G8jDGOgVPl+Vuq|tkp:Bk9SR8Dgz5nzYA&pageci=ad92e883-5286-4e99-ba46-91d66b6babb0&redirect=mobile.

 

500 mintage is indeed, very limited. For some of north korean coins, even Numista have not any informations. I could find only one of these coins, see https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces317186.html.

 

For comparition, a coin .925 silver, 28.28g, 2017 'A Life of Service' Prince Philip Silver £5 Crown issued by Royal Mint and sold out very quick for £150 have the limited mintage of 2.524 pieces. (five times more mintage, less purity silver).

 

I am not collecting north korean coins, but if you are interested about them, @Pandao is the correct person to ask for.

 

And yes, all the north korean silver coins are minted ONLY by governmental mint, all of them only in very limited mintage. These coins are in original slabs holders, these holders being their COA. The mintage of 500 is also written on the label, under the finesse 999.

I hope this helps in your decision to buy or not.

Hi @stefffana

Thank you so much for the information and support. I have a lot of buyers from the US but not many in the UK. I think the price will go up in the future because of the low mintage and the interesting history of the country (they may have revolution in the future). 

 

The most desirable onces are missile coins. I have sold quite a lot on eBay with very very high premium like 240 pounds each. 

I sell these coins with very reasonable price cos I got them from a very good and resourseful dealer. He has connection with the government officers in the embassy and mints.  

I could rather sell them more than sell them high.  There is guy in the US sells DPRK coins on tiktok and instagram called - PAWN.MAN and the pic shows his price. 399 usd each. This could give guys information of how cheap I sell these coins.   

 

Thank you again @stefffana

Best wishes

Olivia

Thanks very much for you well informed post, though it does look like there is a COA on the pacman picture posted above? 

 

I purchased the one with the planet I think saturn on the picture of the coin and the building on the other side, what does this coin represent?

Your coin is about Party Founding Museum (Pyongyang). Of course, Communist party, there are not another parties in North Korea. See picture from Wikimapia.org.

This building was the "offices of DPRK President Kim Il Sung from his return (the Triumphal Return) in 1945 to October 1949. The museum accounts the formation of the Korean government following the Imperial Japanese surrender in 1945 and President Kim's organizing of the Party system, including the Second and Third Enlarged Executive Committee Meetings of the Central Organizing Committee of the Communist Party of North Korea". Wikimapia.org.

 

Your coin was issued in 2019 (108 according to Juche calendar).

The Juche calendar is an alternative dating system used in North Korea where the years are based on the Juche era.

Unlike the Gregorian calendar which begins at year 1 according to the birth of Jesus Christ, the Juche calendar begins from 1912, the year of Kim Il Sung’s birth. Kim Il Sung is the founder and the Eternal President of North Korea.

Using the Juche calendar, 1912 is known as Juche 1 to North Koreans. The year 2019 is therefore known as Juche 108. 

The name of the Juche calendar is derived from the state ideology of ‘Juche’, loosely translated to ‘self-reliance’. This ideology was developed by Kim Il Sung himself.

Now, in 2022, in North Korea is 111.😁

About Saturn, I really don't know what does mean. Probably the birth of  Kim Il Sung was under the good luck of this planet, I can only guess the significance. Obviously, The Earth surrounded by korean communist flag is their desire of ..... Now, you can use your imagination...😁

Enjoy your coin, my friend!🤗
