Comment
Cast during the reign of King Sukjong of Goryeo (1095-1105). These coins tend to be of low quality. Han Korean states were Ma Han (馬韓), Jin Han (辰韓) and Biun Han (辨韓).Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Samhan) ND (1097-1105) coin from Korea was used during the Goryeo Dynasty, which was a time of great cultural and economic development in Korea. The coin features the inscription "Samhan" which refers to the three Han states of ancient Korea: Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla. The coin's design and inscription reflect the cultural and political ties between the Goryeo Dynasty and the earlier Han states.
