| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1 Mun coins of Joseon-era Korea were cast, not struck — produced by pouring molten metal into sand molds, a method that had remained essentially unchanged for centuries. KM#51 was issued under the authority of the Hojo, the Board of Revenue, one of several competing government offices permitted to operate their own furnaces. That administrative fragmentation is precisely why Joseon cash coins vary so dramatically in weight and alloy: no single mint held a monopoly, and quality control was a bureaucratic fiction.
