Comment
The Catalog of Korean Coins and Banknotes has assigned this coin type as: 18.318Interesting 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, "Jeongjo," in Korean characters on one side, and the denomination, "1 Mun," 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 resistance to counterfeiting. Despite its relatively low value, the 1 Mun (Hun) ND (1828) coin is a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
