KOREA. Russian Domination. 1/2 Won, Year 5 (1901). Kojong (as Emperor). NGC AU-58.

KM-1123. A RARE subset of issues featuring the Russian-style imperial eagle (as opposed to the more familiar dragon) was briefly introduced during a period of Russian influence in the waning years of the 19th century and the beginning years of the 20th. As such, the denominations produced-- all rather difficult, with the present denomination being the most difficult --took on more of a Russian feel than prior issues. This example undoubtedly stands as one of the finest that one could possibly acquire, with an alluring gunmetal gray tone and golden-pastel hints throughout.

大韓光武五年半圜銀幣。

罕見 版別，俄羅斯風格的帝王鷹（而非常見的龍）。在 19 世紀末期和20世紀的初期，韓國深受俄羅斯影響，期間的鑄製的面額都相當罕見，發行風格較早前更接近俄羅斯。目前的面額是最為難尋的一枚。此枚極可能是藏家寥寥無幾入手的良機，錢幣帶有誘人的砲銅灰色調和柔美金色。
