I'm bored so I thought I would post an image of this. Why? Because I like it. I hope y'all do too.

    I have the hardest time trying to figure out all of the different symbols. How can you tell where it is minted? -Dan

    The character at 12 o'clock in the bottom image is "pyong," an abbreviation of "Pyongan Provincial Office." The Pyongan Provincial Office was located in the provincial capital in Pyongyang.
