Examined in this article is the fact that Sangpyeong Tongbo, the Joseon coin, was devised and circulated by the Joseon government in the dynasty’s second half, as the government needed those coins for some fiscal reasons. Compared to Chinese and Japanese cases, in which coins were created and circulated in an environment quite similar to the Joseon case, the Joseon government’s coin policy seems to have displayed characteristics of its own. Particularly noticed is the fact that the value of a coin, represented in silver, varied in all three countries.
Joseon and China imported raw materials, needed for coin production, from Japan. Circumstances surrounding coin production in both countries seem to have been quite similar. All coins, regardless of the country that produced them, harbored the same value which was recognized with the same amount of silver, as long as they were created with raw material (imported from Japan) which had the same price and were produced under similar circumstances. But in the Joseon case, initially there were some differences, from their Chinese and Japanese counterparts. The Joseon government modified the price of the coin as they saw fit, in order to secure a needed amount of profit margin (seigniorage) and sometimes even maximize it. This was a risky choice on the government’s part considering the delicate nature of currency circulation. The Joseon government decided to do so nonetheless, but this artificial devaluation policy failed to produce an outcome that would last as much as the government had hoped for.
