Obverse: Paektusan Secret Camp. The log cabin pictured is the reported birthplace and native home of Kim Jong Il, born here on February 16, 1942. Paektusan Secret Camp is one of an abundance of secret guerilla bases tucked away within the dense forests and valleys here. This camp includes the headquarters of the Korean People’s Revolutionary Army led by Kim Il Sung. The crest in the background is now known as ‘Jong Il Peak’ in honor of Kim Jong Il.
Reverse: Mt. Paektu. Mt. Paektu is an active volcano straddling the border of North Korea and China. It’s Korea’s tallest and most sacred mountain and regarded as the spiritual home of all Koreans. For North Koreans, it’s culturally significant as the staging ground of Kim Il Sung’s anti-Japanese activities, and as the birthplace to Kim Jong Il. The caldera forms a massive crater lake with a maximum depth of almost 400 meters deep.
🏔 Mountains: Log cabin on Baekdu Mountain, Jong II Peak and a caldera crater lake on Paektu Mountain
