Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Ho; Sun) ND (1852) coin from Korea was part of a series of coins issued during the reign of King Cheoljong, who ruled from 1849 to 1863. These coins were minted to address the need for a standardized currency system in Korea, as the country was facing economic challenges and inflation at the time. The 1 Mun coin was the smallest denomination in the series and was made of copper, which was a common material for coins in Asia during that period. Despite its small value, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today, particularly those interested in Korean history and currency.
