Need Help Identifying These Two Coins - The UnDoug - 05-17-2014
My daughter found the two coins pictured below at the playground today. Anybody know from what country they hail?
I'm guessing Korea?
Here's the front of them:
and here's the back:
Thanks!

Sorry to spoil the fun....just figured it out myself.
[spoiler=Here's the answer.]
I was right! They are Korean!
Here's the 50 "won" coin:

The writing under the numbers says "Bank of Korea"

FYI... for a lot of "what is this?" type content, you can take a picture of a single item on a light solid color background, upload the photo, then post the URL into a Google image search and it will find a match reasonably often. It did not work for what you posted because it was two coins.
I recognized that it was Korean immediately from the style/shape of the writing.
