Interesting fact
The 1 Mun (Yong) ND (1742) 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 also used as a form of currency in other parts of Asia, including China and Japan. This highlights the coin's cultural and economic significance, as it was not only used in Korea but also had value in other regions.
