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.

I was right! They are Korean!

Here's the 50 "won" coin:

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.
