Former Bank of Korea Notes

Korea's first central bank, the former Bank of Korea, was established on November 10, 1909. In December 1910, 1-won notes were issued, and in August 1911, 5-won and 10-won notes were issued. These banknotes had been used for about ten years until taken out of circulation in 1921 and vanished. The former Bank of Korea notes were produced from making only minor changes to the designs such as the title or emblem of the Dai-Ichi Bank notes. The design of the 1-won note was based on Hwahongmun Gate, located in Suwon. Gwanghwamun Gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace and Juhapnu in Changdeokgung Palace were used in the design of the 5-won note and 10-won note, respectively. To issue these banknotes, a special paper with a hidden picture was put into use.

Dangbaekjeon

In November 1866, the third year of the reign of King Gojong of the Joseon Dynasty, the government issued Dangbaekjeon coins, which came to be used nationwide for about six months to raise additional funds through seigniorage. On the obverse of the coin printed Sangpyeong Tongbo (常平通寶), while the reverse showed Hodaedangback (戶大當百). Dangbaekjeon coins weighed only five to six times than Sangpyeong Tongbo coins, but its denomination was around 100 times that of the Sangpyeong Tongbo coins. The government stopped its minting in May 1867 since this high-value coin, which increased only face value, caused rapid inflation.
