Smaller planchet variety of the Yung Hi reign and very scarce. For every one of the small variety I have seen on the market during the last 25 years I have seen at least 10 of the larger type of years 1905/06. Another gorgeous example that has not been cleaned.
Finally! An excellent work on Korean coins in English. It also describes the entire history of Korea in relation to their coinage. Past erroneous information is corrected and details of varieties are clearly illustrated. This is an amazing resource for numismatists and collectors. I thank Calvin Taehun Jin at Arirang Numismatics, and you will too. Read and Free Download "Coinage of Late Modern Korea" at this: [ link ]
