Interesting fact

The 2 Mun (Chin) coin from Korea, which was minted between 1742 and 1752, features a unique design that reflects the country's cultural and historical heritage. On one side of the coin, there is an image of a dragon, which is a symbol of power and strength in Korean culture. On the other side, there is an image of a phoenix, which represents peace and prosperity. This design combination represents the balance and harmony that the Korean government aimed to achieve during the reign of King Yeongjo, who ruled from 1724 to 1776.
