Sounds good, I’ll review and move the items accordingly.
Here are brief introductions for the historical periods you mentioned
Goryeo (918–1392)
The origin of the name “Korea.” A Buddhist kingdom known for early printing technology.
ㅡㅡorㅡㅡ
The Goryeo dynasty unified much of the Korean peninsula and laid the foundation for the name “Korea.” It was a culturally rich Buddhist kingdom known for remarkable achievements in art, ceramics, and early printing technology, including the world’s first metal movable type. Coinage from this period is rare and reflects early experimentation with currency.
Joseon (1392–1897)
A Confucian dynasty that shaped Korean culture and created Hangul.
ㅡㅡorㅡㅡ
The Joseon dynasty was a long-lasting Confucian monarchy that deeply shaped Korean identity, language, and institutions. It introduced Hangul, the Korean alphabet, and developed a centralized bureaucracy. While coinage was mostly limited to cast bronze coins such as Sangpyeong Tongbo, its monetary system remained relatively stable for centuries.
Korean Empire (1897–1910)
A brief modern monarchy aiming for independence before Japanese annexation.
ㅡㅡorㅡㅡ
Established in an effort to modernize and assert independence amid increasing foreign pressure, the Korean Empire marked a transitional phase between traditional and modern Korea. The period saw the introduction of machine-struck coins and modern banknotes, laying the groundwork for Korea’s national currency system before Japanese annexation.
Japanese rule (1910–1945)
A colonial period with Japanese-controlled administration and currency.
ㅡㅡorㅡㅡ
During this period, Korea was fully integrated into the Japanese Empire as a colony, resulting in major changes to its political, economic, and monetary systems. While modern infrastructure and institutions were introduced, they served colonial interests. The Bank of Chosen issued localized banknotes for Korea, while coinage was standardized across the empire, meaning no separate Korean coins were produced.
