Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Chong) ND (1757) coin from Korea was used as a means of currency during the Joseon Dynasty, which ruled Korea from 1392 to 1910. The coin was made of bronze and had a square hole in the center, which was a common feature of coins during that time period. The coin was also very small, weighing only 4.23 grams, making it one of the lightest coins in circulation at the time. Despite its small size, the coin played an important role in the economy of Korea during the 18th century.
