| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by two confronted imperial dragons rendered in high relief, their sinuous bodies intertwined and facing one another across the field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. Sino-Korean inscriptions in Hanja and Hangul are arranged around the periphery between the beaded circle and the milled border, reading the reign-era date (光武二年, 2nd year of Gwang Mu) and country name (大韓) at the sides, with the denomination legend '1 YANG' in Latin characters prominently positioned along the lower rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Korean Empire was proclaimed in October 1897, when Gojong elevated his title from king to emperor partly to assert independence from Chinese suzerainty following the First Sino-Japanese War. This coin belongs to the first year of substantive imperial coinage under that new political order. Japan's growing financial influence over the peninsula meant the window for genuinely autonomous Korean monetary policy was already narrowing by the time these were struck.
The Gwang Mu era ran only until 1907, when Gojong was forced to abdicate under Japanese pressure. Full annexation followed in 1910.
