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 coin was used as a means of currency in Korea, and it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins in those days. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item, especially among numismatists who specialize in Asian coins.
