[QUOTE="mlov43, post: 5466716, member: 16729"]I know little about these early struck pieces. I'm into South Korean coins (1959-present). Primal Trek has information (below) that is somewhat thorough. There is no real reason that I see here as to why there are two version for the country. [I]"The ¼ yang (二錢五分) coins were minted during the years 1892-1901. Their composition is 75% copper and 25% nickel. These coins have a diameter of 20.7 mm and a weight of 4.8 grams. Varieties of this coin were produced in certain years and can include differences in the country name ("Great Korea" 大朝鮮, "Korea" 朝鮮, "Daehan" 大韓) and the size of the letters or characters (large characters 大字, small characters 小字). From 1892-1897, the ¼ yang coins were struck at the mint in Incheon (仁川典局). The Yongsan mint (龍山典局) produced these coins from 1998-1901 [/I] From:[URL]https://primaltrek.com/koreancoins.html[/URL][/QUOTE]
