Comments

Chociaż ten typ jest wymieniony w "Standard Catalog of World Coins" jako wykonany z brązu, oficjalne rejestry mennicze podają, że monety te są wykonane z miedzi i cynku (mosiądzu).

Żadne monety nie zostały wyemitowane za czasów First lub Old Won (1945-1953).

Dwie z trzech monet, a mianowicie 10 i 50 hwan, zostały przeszacowane na 1 i 5 wonów i były w obiegu (legalne środki płatnicze). Były to jedyne dwie monety do 1966 roku.

Począwszy od 1966 r. monety były bite pod nazwą Second lub New Won.

Mennica Stanów Zjednoczonych opublikowała rzeczywiste numery Mintage w poszczególnych latach (i rok pokazany na monecie):

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Although this type is listed in the "Standard Catalog of World Coins" as being made of Bronze, official mint records state that these coins are made of Copper and Zinc (Brass).

No coins were issued under First or Old Won (1945-1953).

Two of the three coins namely 10 & 50 hwan coins were revalued as 1 & 5 won and were in circulation (legal tenders). These were the only two coins till 1966.

Coins were struck under Second or New Won from 1966 onwards.
