Lustrous UNC example of Korean 50 Won piece of 1959, depicting for the first time, the iron-clad Turtle Ship that Admiral Yi employed to defeat a Japanese invasion. Republic decimal coinage issued in 1959 and 1961. Beware, these are very popular in S Korea and PCGS has articles concerning counterfeits (even though over 24M were struck). The easy tell is the design of the waves, especially around the oars.
