Korea Japanese 5 chon Protectorate Gwang Mu KM-1126 MS 65 PCGS CuNi coin 1905

The 1905 Korea Japanese Protectorate 5 Chon Gwang Mu coin is an important historical issue struck during the reign of Emperor Gwangmu (Gojong), a period marked by profound political change on the Korean Peninsula. Minted in copper-nickel and certified PCGS MS65, this remarkably preserved coin represents the final years of the Korean Empire before Japanese colonial rule was formally established. The obverse features an elegant phoenix with outstretched wings rising above stylized clouds and ornamental scrollwork, encircled by beaded borders and inscriptions denoting the era and denomination. The reverse displays the denomination within a decorative laurel and flowering branch wreath, tied with a ribbon at the base and crowned by a plum blossom, the imperial symbol of the Korean Empire. Every detail reflects the refined artistry of early twentieth-century Korean coinage. Certified MS65 by PCGS, this attractive collectible combines historical importance, excellent preservation, and classic Korean design, making it a desirable addition for collectors of Asian history, imperial coinage, and world numismatics.
