Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Cursive script) ND (1097-1105) bronze coin from Korea features a unique blend of Chinese and Korean characters on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the Chinese character "天" (tiān), which means "heaven," while the reverse side features the Korean character " Mun" (문), which means "culture" or "civilization." This blend of characters reflects the cultural exchange and influence between China and Korea during the time period in which the coin was minted.
