wrote conjectures about this type, but there are no records, thus they
were probably a state approved private issue. No one I know can authenticate
this, as there are none around to compare it with. 37mm, 13.9g, supposedly
there is a wide variety of size & style. F $1,000.00, and my usual
lifetime authenticity return policy applies.

Things
like this were used by the Korean secret service in their trips around
the country attempting to uncover corrupt officials. They would be
presented at government stables to requisition the number of animals required.
They were dated according to the Chinese imperial year, Korea being in
a vassal relationship with China at that time. The month and day
were filled in with ink, receipts duly collected, paperwork appropriately
filed. This one comes with a story that it was presented to him at
a state dinner by an aide to president Chung Hee Park in the 1950s.
There are lots of fakes, most easy to spot. Genuine specimens such
as this one are very rare.
