Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Kyong) ND (1830) coin from Korea was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, what's interesting is that the coin was designed with a square hole in the center, which was a unique feature for coins at that time. This square hole was used to indicate that the coin was authentic and not a counterfeit. This feature was also used in other coins from Korea during the same period.
