Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Seal script) ND (1097-1107) bronze coin from Korea features a unique blend of Chinese and Korean characters on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "大 Korean Mun" (Great Korean Mun) in seal script, while the reverse side features the Chinese characters "天下統一" (Tianxia Tongyuan) meaning "Unity under Heaven." This blending of cultures reflects the complex history and cultural exchange between Korea and China during the time period in which the coin was minted.
