Best regards
Leandro

Lets find first the series :
Series 1 (一)
Series 2 (二)
Series 3 (三)
Series 4 (四)
Series 5 (五
Series 6 (六)
Series 7 (七)
Series 8 (八)
Series 9 (九)
Series 10 (十)

Then the mint : Ministry of defense or Court guard ?
Non of them correspond exactly to your coin

Do you think that it is a copy?

I didnt buy it yet. It is not mine.
I am looking for information before the purchase.

Turn 180 degrees on the first picture to get the right orientation, this is the reverse side of the coin.

The Upper text is not clear but I bet it is “戶”, treasury department.

The lower text is obviously “玄” (Pronounced like “Hyon”, one among the Thousand Character Classic.

30mm shows that is is 2 Mun coin, which can identify as km80(small text) / km81(large text) if all of the information is correct.

P.S. Authenticity looks fine for me. Weight looks lighter than usual but I think it is due to corrosion

I didnt find the ​玄 (3rd 1000-ch classic) in the series.

This type is not yet registered in Numista catalog.

The 44237 link is for mintmark with series of Series number (1-10) and this is a 2 Mon coin

​Me neither! Yes, it's mintmark "Hyŏn", meaning "dark", dates 1742-1752.

In the SCWC, 2 MUN of the 18th century are mentionned with these following characteristics : diam : 29-30 mm, weight varies from 8 to 9 grams, and we may guess an erased character at left on reverse.
For the series TREASURY DEPARTMENT, there is w/o character at left:
KM# 80 - 2 MUN - ND(1742-52) Cast Copper Or Brass Rev: “Hyon” at bottom Note: Small characters. Weight varies 8.00-9.00 grams.
Too heavy.
So it's more likeky a coin of the 19th century

But there is no "2 Mun" listed on my SCWC version and "5 Mun" described with a diam of 30 mm get a fourth characrater at the right of the reverse.
So ... This coin is still awaiting identification

I do velieve the lower character is 玄, and the top character is户. But it's too worn to make ou the character on the left. I took the liberty to rotate the picture, which makes things a little clearer:


Who marked this as solved, by the way?

​lol, okay.

Not solved now lol

I marked as solved because I found it as the 2 Mun coin in the catalogue (but I am not sure about the weight and diameter, because it is not in hands yet).

But the series I think it will be impossible to ID.

Thank you very much for your help.

You're kidding. Either you say "I don't know the weight and diameter or you give exact information
Re-open this thread when you get exact information.
