The 100 Hwan is akey issue from South Korea’s short-lived Hwan currency era (1953–1962)before transitioning to the Won. Most of these coins saw heavy circulation, making high-grade survivors like this one especially desirable among collectors of Asian and world coinage.
A fantastic addition to any collection of Korean or Cold War-era historical coins.
