[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 5466992, member: 102103"]Thanks for the replies. I can't say I'm much clearer as to what's going on than when I started, but the like provided a good summary of what coins were issued. My pet theory appears to be wrong. (That the 大朝鮮 = Great Korea designation indicated waning Chinese influence due to the Sino-Japanese war of 1894-5.) Both names appear to have been in use simultaneously, and as early as 1892-1893, before the War had started. The Qing Dynasty was already near collapse at that point, but Korea's name ambiguity does not have been directly caused by that war. The monarch of Korea did change title in this period, going from "Monarch" to 'Great Monarch" in 1895 and then "Emperor" in 1897 ([URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_of_Korea']source[/URL]). This is definitely related to the Sino-Japanese war and the loss of Chinese influence on the Korean Peninsula. It all became a moot point when Japanese annexed Korea in 1910. Anyway, this period is very interesting to me, but I still have a lot to learn.[/QUOTE]
