living-in-the-past Valued Member United States 134 Posts	Posted 07/15/2017 11:15 am This is a recent acquisition. I think it is Chinese, but not 100% sure. Probably not a bank note, but maybe a bond receipt or propaganda note? I am not really sure. It is 65mm x 142mm. As usual, any thoughts regarding attribution, age, rarity, etc. would be greatly appreciated. Edited by living-in-the-past 07/15/2017 11:24 am Report this Post to the Staff

mulla New Member Australia 32 Posts	Posted 07/18/2017 11:20 pm My 0.02 It reads Dangun 4283, which translates to the year 1906. It's a Korean "ticket". Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_era_name http://www.ioc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/~koreandb/nengou.htm From what I can gather, it's some sort of lottery ticket for disaster relieve fund raising. It's a 200 won value ticket. First prize 1M Second prize 200K Third prize 100K Forth prize 50K Fifth prize 5K Report this Post to the Staff
Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 489 Posts	Posted 08/04/2017 01:47 am This lottery ticket is from the 1950 not 1906. If this ticket was from 1906, that would mean the ticket would not say "Republic of Korea", it would say Joseon, and the amount from the lottery would be extremely retarded amounts of money. I speak Korean and can read the Hanja characters that they used during the time, so I can elaborate a little more on this. This ticket is translated as follows: Disaster Relief The Third Round Welfare Lottery Price: 200 Won Ticket NO. D00075347 The script that is written top to bottom, read left to right is: The Republic of Korea Public Affairs Office "Conducted on 1 June of the 4283rd Dangun Yr (1950)" "This welfare lottery will be conducted according to Law No. 45." The back of the ticket breaks down when and how many tickets will be pulled for the lottery and lays out the different prize winnings from the pulls. "1st Prize is 1,000,000 Won" "2nd Prize is 200,000 Won" "3rd Prize is 100,000 Won" "4th Prize is 50,000 Won" "5th Prize is 5,000 WOn" As for its worth, I am not sure if its worth much considering there are at least 75,347 of them and its just a lotto ticket. I personally love this kind of stuff, but I am a bit crazy for Korean stuff, as I live here. :) Let me know if you want to get rid of it.
