North Korean 50 Chon

I have a quick question regarding the 50 Chon minted by the DPRK in 1978, I have seen there are variants listed as Capitalist Visitor, Socialist Visitor, and People's Republic. Are there any notable differences with these coins or where/how they were distributed? I have a standard 50 Chon coming in next week and am very excited to expand the collection!

It was probably to distinguish who wa who, and make it easier to track them. I have a few banknotes too I can show you later according this.

​I've managed to accumulate a decent amount of banknotes myself but I know very little about them. Are there also variations in paper currency?

​Yes, the 1978 series has 5 different types. I'm in school now but I have all types of the 10 won, so I can show you.

In 1988 there was two different series circulating side by side, one capitalist visitors serie and one socialist visitors serie.

Interesting!

Very interesting NK notes! You're going to have a hell of a time when we get to North Korea on the Banknotes by country thread.

By the way, were the 'Capitalist visitors' actually issues for souvenirs to the West, while the other issues for actual circulation in the DPRK?
