Item Details
Description
A 19th or early 20th century Korean brass mounted locking coin chest. Currently locked with no key.All sides have fancy right angle brass mounts and top has brass mounted rosettes. Coin chests are highly prized by collectors of Korean antiques. Paper money did not exist in Joseon Dynasty Korea, and the coins were of very small denominations. They had to be strung together in large, heavy quantities to have any worth, so a strong money box was a necessity.
Condition
No key.
