Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Ho) ND (1852) coin from Korea was minted during the reign of King Cheoljong, who was the 23rd 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 one of the new coins introduced, and it was made of copper. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
