Comment
The Catalog of Korean Coins and Banknotes gives an catalog number of 18.327Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Hun) ND (1828) coin was issued during the reign of King Jeongjo of the Joseon Dynasty, who ruled from 1776 to 1800. The coin features the king's name and title on one side, and the denomination and year of issue on the other. The use of brass for the coin's material was a departure from the traditional use of copper or silver, and it was likely chosen for its durability and affordability. Despite its relatively low value, the 1 Mun (Hun) ND (1828) coin is a rare and sought-after collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
