Comment

David Hartill gives the same reference to all 2 Mun coins (and similar numbering - 25.74 - for 1 Mun coins), saying: The Sang Pyong coin was issued with a great variety of reverse inscriptions giving the mint name or authority, and series numbers.

Interesting fact

The 2 Mun (Chin) coin from Korea, which was minted during the Joseon Dynasty (1695-1742), features a unique design that reflects the country's cultural and religious beliefs during that time. On one side of the coin, there is an image of a dragon, which symbolizes strength, power, and good luck in Korean culture. On the other side, there is an image of a phoenix, which represents peace, prosperity, and wisdom. The use of these symbols on the coin highlights the importance of these values in Korean society during that era.
