Obverse: Chollima Statue. This mythological winged horse is said to be able to travel 1000 li (4000km) in a single day. The Chollima represents the national effort to rebuild the nation after the destruction of the Korean War. The post-war mobilization led by President Kim Il Sung was promoted as the ‘Chollima Movement’ to motivate workers in rebuilding the country with speed and efficiency and to strive tirelessly for a prosperous nation. The Chollima and the subsequent term ‘Chollima Speed’ has since become an identifier of swift progress in North Korea. This has inspired modern-day offshoots such as ‘Masikryong Speed’ and ‘Mallima Speed’ to reflect the rapid speed of contemporary developments.
