Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Kae) ND (1836) coin from Korea was minted during the reign of King Heonjong, who was the 24th king of the Joseon Dynasty. The coin features the king's name, "Heonjong," in Korean characters on one side, and the denomination, "1 Mun," on the other. The coin was made of bronze and weighed 4.00 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time. Despite its age, some of these coins are still in circulation today, making them a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
