Coins and stamps commemorating the US-North Korea summit released one after another

Vietnam's stamp set for the US-North Korea summit features a stylized drawing of the firm handshake between the US and North Korean leaders, against a background of green bamboo - a symbol of Vietnam's peace and friendliness.

In addition, the stamp also depicts the Vietnamese flag and the words "Partnership for Sustainable Peace", to affirm Vietnam's ability to organize major international events, as well as its responsibility for world peace. On the lower left side of the stamp is an image of Khue Van Cac, a symbol of Hanoi.

Released on February 26, this stamp set is expected to convey the message "Vietnam - a safe and friendly destination" and "Hanoi - a city for peace" to friends and the international community.

The stamp set includes a sample with a face value of 4,000 VND, size 43x32mm, and a stamp block size 222x114mm.

Before the above stamp set was announced, the Vietnam Stamp Company said it would issue a "World Peace" coin, made from pure silver, to commemorate the US-North Korea summit.

Each coin will be sold for 500,000 VND, with a certificate of product quality.

One side of the coin features a dove - a symbol of world peace, an olive branch and the national flags of Vietnam, the United States and North Korea. The reverse side features a lotus flower of Vietnam and the date and month of this historic summit.

Each coin will be sold for 500,000 VND, along with a certificate of product quality. The publisher expects a total of only 300 coins to be issued on this occasion.

A few days ago, the White House also released a coin commemorating the second US-North Korea summit.

The special coin features the words "A New Path to Peace," "Critical Times Require Courageous Leadership" and "A Turning Point - Action Toward Complete Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."

Each coin will be sold for 500,000 VND, with a certificate of product quality.

The White House gift shop only issued 1,000 of these commemorative coins, priced at $100 each.

In 2018, the White House issued a commemorative coin for the first US-North Korea summit in Singapore, and the coin quickly sold out.
