Interesting fact
The 2 Mun (Jeon) coin from Korea, which was minted between 1742 and 1752, was made of copper and weighed 6.30 grams. Despite its relatively small size, this coin was an important part of Korea's currency system during the Joseon Dynasty, which ruled the country from 1392 to 1910. The coin's design featured a square hole in the center, which was a common feature of Korean coins during this period. The 2 Mun coin was used for everyday transactions and was also used as a unit of account, with 100 Jeon equaling 1 Mun. Today, this coin is a valuable collector's item and a piece of Korean history.
