Pyongyang, Arch of Triumph

Pyongyang, Arch of Triumph

According to Wikipedia, “The Arch of Triumph in Pyongyang was built to commemorate the Korean resistance to Japan from 1925 to 1945. It is the second tallest triumphal arch in the world, after Monumento a la Revolución in Mexico, standing 60 m high and 50 m wide.”  Google Translate couldn’t quite handle the Korean text at the bottom right, coming out as “Sun Moon Dog”.  The Russian language at the top is easier, declaring this to be a joint issue between DPRK and the Russian federation.  Unused card, with colourful pre-printed postage, and we have a few available.  Grade: 1
