Comment
The Catalog of Korean Coins and Banknote has listed this coin: 18.322Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Hun; Cash) ND (1828) coin from Korea made of Brass was used as a form of currency during the Joseon Dynasty, which ruled Korea from 1392 to 1910. The coin was first introduced in 1828 and was used until the late 19th century. It was equivalent to 100 smaller units called "jeon." The coin was made of brass and had a round shape with a square hole in the center. The obverse side featured the Chinese characters "환" (Hun) and "거" (Cash), while the reverse side had the denomination "1 Mun" written in Hangul, the Korean alphabet. The coin was used for everyday transactions and was also used as a form of tax payment. I hope you find this information helpful!
