Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Ho; Flood) ND (1852) coin from Korea was minted during the reign of King Cheoljong, who was the 13th king of the Joseon Dynasty. At that time, the country was facing severe economic difficulties, and the government decided to introduce a new currency system to address the issue. The 1 Mun coin was part of this new system, and it was designed to be made of copper, which was a more affordable material than the previous currency, which was made of silver. Despite the change in material, the 1 Mun coin still maintained its value and was widely used throughout the country.
