oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5016 Posts	Posted 09/11/2024 1:39 pm This weighs 5.94 grams and has a diameter of 29 mm. It was in a souvenir folder and the date "1731 A.D" was listed. While one side has the standard 4 characters for Korean cash coins, the other side does not match anything I can find in Krause, let alone for 1731 AD. The weight does suggest 2 Mun, but that is about it. Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5016 Posts	Posted 09/12/2024 06:05 am @Marve65, yes probably buried for a time. Whoever made the folder made no effort to select good coins and I suspect made no effort to be accurate in their ID. At any rate, I have no money invested in this. Report this Post to the Staff
