Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Ho) ND (1731) 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 brass and had a diameter of 2.5 cm. Despite its small size, it was an important part of the Korean economy at the time. It's worth noting that the coin weighs 6.53 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar size and material. This may have made it easier to handle and transport, but it also means that it may not have been as durable as other coins. I hope this information is helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
