2017 North Korea 50 Won Silver Proof commemorating the 80 year anniversary of the Battle of Pochonbo

In 1937, Kim Il Sung led anti-Japanese guerrillas on a surprise raid on Japanese forces in Pochonbo. Described by some historians as a minor raid, North Korea regards this battle as an important victory against the Japanese and it is a major factor that helped cement Kim Il Sung's rise to power
