5 Chon Capitalist Visitors

North Korea maintained separate currency systems for different categories of foreign visitors well into the late 1980s — socialist-bloc tourists, capitalist tourists, and official delegations each received distinct exchange certificates, segregating hard currency inflows by source. This note belongs to the "capitalist visitor" series, a practical tool for extracting convertible currency while controlling what foreigners could access and spend within the country.

The printing date field — 30 April 1945 — is almost certainly a catalog or data anomaly. This series was issued in 1988, and no credible source places this note in wartime production.
