A 20 won gold coin dated 1907. Housed in the museum of the Smithsonian Institution. From 1906, a total of 1.45 million 5, 10, and 20 won gold coins were minted at the Osaka Mint. This was the highest denomination in the monetary system of the Korean Empire, and it preserves the golden brilliance from three years before the country ceased to exist.
