Korea
Russian Domination. Kuang Mu copper-nickel 5 Chon Year 6 (1902) XF45 NGC, KM1122. Light gray patina with sharp definition and a few light marks. Increased Russian influence in Korea, from 1896-1904, resulted in three types of coins (1 Chon, 5 Chon, and 1/2 Won) being struck with a Russian eagle in place of the Japanese style dragon. These pieces were one-year types authorized and issued by financial advisor Alexiev of the Russo-Korean Bank. All are very rare with very few of the actual mintages ever being noted. We are pleased to offer this exceptional 5 Chon, its detail far deeper than the technical grade would suggest with even minute aspects of the devices fully rendered.
