Interesting fact
The 2 Mun (Sang; Flood) ND (1742-1752) coin from Korea was made during the reign of King Yeongjo, who was known for his efforts to stabilize and modernize the Korean economy. As a result, this coin was one of the first to be minted using modern machinery, which allowed for greater precision and consistency in its production. This makes it a significant piece of Korean numismatic history.
