First Korean find in about a decade. Technically a South Korean find but there is always a chance the two Koreas will reunite in the future. In anticipation of reunification the Korean coin are often listed as Korea-South and Korea-North.
Since South Korea is a free country tourism is a big business and none of their modern coins are rare. Most are simple and have little value above the exchange rate of 100 South Korean Won = 9 U.S. Cents Now if I found a North Korean coin that would be a different story.
백(100) bust of Yi Sun-sin 원(Won)
2008 above 100 above 한 국 은 행(Bank of Korea)
There is always confusion when non-collectors try to describe this coin. the say it has the date on one side, a big hundred, and on the other Confucius. That last part is wrong. Yi Sun-sin is on the coin and he was a late 16th century naval commander who had some incredible victories during times of war. He is often used a symbol of strength, leadership, and even reunification.
Here are the stats...
Type/Country: 100 Won / Korea-South
Year: 2008
Mintage: Unknown
Metal: Copper-Nickel
Value: $0.10 in Fine
Do you have a coin from Korea and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

I have 9 , 100 won coins. The oldest is 1977 pretty good shape and the newest is a 2001 . It sounds like I need to find one more to have $1.00 worth of coins. I wasn`t sure? Is this about correct?
ReplyDelete100 won coins. The oldest is 1977 pretty good shape and the newest is a 2001 .
ReplyDeleteIn circulated condition they are about $0.20 on average.
1981 and 1998 have a slightly higher value but that around $0.50 in average grade.
To get the value of ANY South Korean coin (1966-present), google "Circulation coins of Korea". The first link that you see has a history of ALL of South Korea's currency, including the values of the coins in Korea versus their value as listed in the "Standard Catalog of World Coins" book.
