Interesting fact
The 2 Mun (Kum) ND (1753) coin from Korea was issued during the reign of King Yeongjo, who was known for his efforts to promote economic growth and stability in the country. The coin's design features the Korean characters "금" (geum) and " Mun" (mun), which together mean "copper money." The coin's copper content was a significant aspect of its design, as copper was a valuable resource at the time and was used to mint coins that were used for everyday transactions. Despite its age, the 2 Mun (Kum) ND (1753) coin remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
