[QUOTE="The Eidolon, post: 5481545, member: 102103"]This is great info, exactly what I was hoping to find out, thanks. I think that explains what was going on. The "大" (great) was an assertion of sovereignty, as opposed to a vassal status. China objected and Korea had to hold off for a few years, until the Sino-Japanese War resolved the question. Both types of coins were then minted haphazardly at the same time. By the way, I think there is a typo in your type set doc. After the gold section, the silver coins are listed as "Au 80%, Cu 20%" instead of Ag/Cu. Thanks for the education and the links![/QUOTE]
