Silver, right? What time period?
My good friend, Jon, took photos of some patterns coins (bottom) that have recently been placed on display at the newly renovated (2017) Bank of...
The lettering, "Half Won" looks like the kind you'd see on a counterfeit. I really do not know much about these "old" machine-struck coins from...
I don't think too much credence is given (non-ancient) world coins by any publication or business in the USA. Such "nice to know" information is...
The one on the left is a 1,000 Won (old) note, with catalog numbers Pick-8 and DaeGwangsa 44-1. The one on the right is a 100 Won (old) note,...
