Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Li script) ND (1097-1105) coin from Korea made of Bronze has a unique feature. It is one of the few coins in history that has a hole in the center. This hole was intentionally made during the minting process and was used as a way to tie the coin to a string, making it easier to carry and store. This feature is known as a "square hole" or "方孔" in Chinese, and it's a distinct characteristic of this particular coin.
