<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 282480, member: 66&quot;]The N Korea KM 177 is a 5 Won coin not a 1 Won. So they are wrong there.&nbsp; There is no 1 Won listed in the latest editions of the books with a Buddha on them.&nbsp; As for the &quot;common reverse&quot; there appear to be at least four different versions of this &quot;common reverse&quot; used in 2000, none of the are exact matches for the coin in the first auction.&nbsp; They used at least three versions of the reverse in 2001 and only one version had the 2001 date on that side.&nbsp; And on that one the date is always above the denomination, never below it as appears on the second eBay coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also it appears that they ONLY design that they use on more than one denomination is the one they use for their zodiac calender coins (year of the horse, year of the rat, year of the snake etc)</p><p><br /></p><p>With those strikes against it I would say that both of them are fantasy pieces.&nbsp; I don&#039;t call them counterfeits because there is no matching genuine coin to be a counterfeit of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
