Owner's Description

Purchased on 3/31/2012. This coin features the mythical Korean flying horse, called the Chollima. In Korean, this creature's name roughly means "thousand-mile horse", and it is most often portrayed as a winged horse. Several statues are found in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang. The Chollima is also the mascot/nickname of the North Korean national soccer team, and in history The Chollima Movement (an economic development plan intended to boost technology and efficiency) was also named after the creature. Accompanying photo: One of the statues in Pyongyang depicting this beautiful creature.
