What coin, what language?

I have this coin. I can't find on the net. Wonder if anyone else knows what this is? My hubby thinks it looks like Tibet, I say of Korean/Asian withthe letters, etc. It's date is 1974 on back, also it reads 100. only thing legible in english. The front is a man with beard and squared type hat like what you would see on African regalia.

can't say without a picture, but that sounds like a Korean 100 Won. Lived there for awhile. Beautiful country with some neat coinage.

Does it look like this:?

 

Here's a LINK showing the obverse and reverse.

If this is your coin, the language is Hangul

 

Hey, yes it is the same 'language' I think. Different picture though.
I took pics of it and will send them to you if you want. Thank you for helping me with that!

It is this one above, but date is 1974

 

Kandlo,this is a South Korean coin.The coins that were issued prior
to being taken over by Japan in 1910 are from united Korea,as united Korea was a monarchy.
