Several series characters existInteresting fact
The 2 Mun (Sang) ND (1742-1752) coin from Korea was used as a means of currency during the Joseon Dynasty, which was the last dynasty in Korea that ruled from 1392 to 1910. The coin was made of bronze and weighed 8 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time. The coin's design featured the Chinese character " Mun" which means "money" or "currency" and the number "2" indicated its denomination. The coin was widely used in trade and commerce during its time and is now considered a valuable collector's item.
