I've recently added the 1893 5 fun (small letters) and the 1896 5 fun (big letters). These two coins were somewhat difficult to track down I wasn't expecting this 5 fun collection to be such a difficult challenge in particular with all the varieties and the 1899 5 fun which is a 4 figure coin!

Nic, I don't have the 4 figure 5 fun coin. It's the Gwangmu 3 (1899) 5 fun which is the rarest Korean copper coin other than trial coins.

Here's a link:

Auctioned back in 2000, it was hammered at a shocking 3,680USD. Probably worth a bit more today.
