<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 4395165, member: 4373&quot;]Eidolon - I wished you did further research about the machine struck Korean Empire coins. I&#039;ve written a couple of posts about it. In 1905 coins were struck in Osaka, Japan and it was given that it had to have similar theme. Korea no longer was an empire as it became a Japanese protectorate and in 1910 became a colony.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do not understand where the Russian denomination come from.The original denomination is mun in 1888. Whan, yang, fun were used from 1892 to 1902. Under the Japanese protectorate it became won and chon. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are talking about the Russian inspired Korean coin, there are some excessive rare coins issued. This is a given as the Russo Korean bank was only opened for a week. Most coins were culled by the Japanese. </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as research goes, planchets and machinery in Korea were imported from Japan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
