Interesting fact
The 2 Mun (Yong) ND (1752) coin from Korea was made of brass, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin interesting is that it was produced during the Joseon Dynasty, which was the last dynasty in Korea that ruled for over 500 years. The coin's design features the Chinese character "壹" (yī) on one side, which represents the number one, and the Korean character " Mun" (mun) on the other side, which means "money." This coin was used as a standard circulation coin during that time and was worth 2 mun. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, and its historical significance makes it an interesting piece of Korean history.
