Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Seal script) ND (1097-1105) bronze coin from Korea features a unique blend of Chinese and Korean characters on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the Chinese characters "天下統一" (Tianxia Tongyuan), which translates to "Unity under Heaven," while the reverse side features the Korean characters "고려 통보" (Goryeo Tongbo), meaning "Goryeo Treasury." This blend of languages and scripts reflects the cultural exchange and influence between China and Korea during the Goryeo Dynasty, and adds to the historical significance of the coin.
