Interesting fact
The 2 Mun (Hun) ND (1742-1752) coin from Korea was made during the Joseon Dynasty, which was the last dynasty in Korea that ruled for over 500 years. During this time, the government issued a series of coins with different denominations, and the 2 Mun coin was one of the most widely used coins in everyday transactions. Despite its small denomination, the coin was made with a relatively high level of craftsmanship, featuring intricate designs and calligraphy that reflected the artistic and cultural achievements of the time. Today, these coins are highly sought after by collectors and historians, providing a unique window into Korea's rich cultural heritage.
