The very strong Japanese influence is evident given the style which resembled the Meiji Silver Yen crown issues. This was a time when the Japanese imperialistic ambitions have penetrated deeply into Korea before full annexation around the turn of the century. It will take another half a century before the Koreans were able to regain their own sovereignty after the second world war.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]634454[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
