| Additional information |
Cast rather than struck, this issue comes from the Joseon-era system of military office mints, where the Hullyeondogam (Military Training Command) produced coinage alongside its primary administrative functions. The "Hun" in the coin's name denotes exactly that office. By 1828, the one-mun denomination had been in continuous production for over 150 years, with dozens of government bureaus and regional offices authorized to cast their own issues — each identifiable by the reverse office mark.
Brass composition varied considerably between casting sessions, and alloy inconsistencies are the norm, not the exception.
