Korean coins are called "won." The won is the official currency of South Korea and is divided into 100 jeon.
The four countries that still use coins with holes in them are Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Indonesia. These coins are known as "holey coins" and are typically used for denominations of 1 yen, 5 won, 1 piso, and 50 rupiah respectively. The holes in these coins serve both functional and symbolic purposes, such as making it easier to string them together or representing the country's cultural heritage.
The chief designers of South Korea's coins that were released between 1966 and 1970 were Kang Bak, Jo Byeong-soo, and Oh Dong-hwan. The coins they designed were the first series of the One Won, Five Won, and Ten Won coins that were issued in 1966, along with the 100 Won in 1970, and the 50 Won in 1972. Kang, Jo, and Oh worked for the Korean Mint (KOMSCO) from the 1960s into the 1980s. This team of three men, along with other designers that later joined the design team at KOMSCO, also designed most of the South Korean commemorative coin designs of the 1970s. By the time South Korea redesigned its coins in 1983, Kang Bak had died and Jo Byeong-soo had left to design banknotes. It seems that Oh Dong-hwan was left as the senior coin designer at KOMSCO, and along with newcomers to the KOMSCO design department, Oh has credit as the main designer of the 1988 Seoul Olympics commemorative coins. It seems that it was this latter design team that is responsible for the designs you see on South Korea's coins today.
