The Pyongyang Bell (Korean: 평양종) is one of the National Treasures of North Korea.

The current bell was cast between June and September [1] 1726 during the Ri dynasty[2] to replace an earlier one that was destroyed by fire in 1714.

The bell was rung to announce invasions, natural disasters, New Year's Day and other major events.

Merchants from Seoul contributed old iron vessels equal to 1296 pounds and 8 yang.

The various prefectures throughout Korea exchanged their surplus grain for 4810 pounds and 8 yang of lead and old coin metal.
