I have a 10 chon coin I'm looking to put a date on. I have read it's Korean with chinese letters. Do these coins have spacific dates or are they classed by the ruler of the time?

I believe that it's a Korea 10 Chon 1906: https://en.numista.com/35118

Here's the numista page of the coin so you can see.

"Translation: Great Korea, 10th year of Gwang Mu, Ten Jeon"

It says 10 year in Chinese on it.

It is very nice! Getting harder to find in such decent condition. My example isn't as nice.
