<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mlov43, post: 2737892, member: 16729&quot;]The one on the left is a 1,000 Won (old) note, with catalog numbers Pick-8 and DaeGwangsa 44-1.&nbsp; The one on the right is a 100 Won (old) note, with catalog numbers Pick-7 and DaeGwangsa 44-2.&nbsp; I believe that notes with serial numbers 500 and lower were printed in Japan, due to the war, and hold a higher collector value than those with higher numbers.&nbsp;&nbsp; I guess fewer of these were printed.&nbsp; Other banknote enthusiasts are more knowledgable than I with regard to S. Korean notes.&nbsp; I just don&#039;t know if there are any who lurk here at CT.</p><p><br /></p><p>These notes were printed from July 1950 until their total withdrawal on February 17, 1953 during the country&#039;s second currency reform, which introduced the <i>hwan</i> currency which then was South Korea&#039;s currency until another currency reform in June 1962 changed it to the (new) Won, which has been the currency ever since.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
