'''Goryeo coinage''' ([[Hanja]]: 高麗-貨幣; [[Hangul]]: 고려의 화폐) refers to the different types of coinages which were attempted to become the main currency of [[Goryeo]]. During most of its history the Kingdom of Goryeo did not have a money-based economy but most goods were traded using [[barter]]. However, the government had attempted several times to introduce various types of coinages include coins based on [[Cash (Chinese coin)|Chinese cash coins]], silver vases known as ''ŭnbyŏng'' (銀瓶, 은병), and coins shaped like [[arrowheads]]. These efforts to introduce coinage to Goryeo were all ultimately unsuccessful and the [[Korea]]n economy would remain to be based on barter until several centuries into the [[Joseon]] period in the 17th century. == Earliest coinages == While in ancient Korea various items like [[clam shell]]s, iron, and [[precious metal]]s were all traded as a [[medium of exchange]], but the primary forms of currency during this era used in bartering were [[grain]] and [[cloth]].<ref name="NIKHCurrency">{{cite web|url= http://contents.history.go.kr/front/eng/tz/view.do?levelId=tz_b25|title= Korean Currency.|date=2019|accessdate=29 September 2019|author= Not listed|publisher= [[National Institute of Korean History]]|language=en}}</ref> During the pre-monetary times anything related to food and clothing was used as a medium of exchange as well as a method to measure the value of products.<ref name="NIKHCurrency"/> The types of grains most commonly used for bartering were [[rice]], [[barley]], [[bean]]s, and millet. Of these commodities millet white rice was valued a lot more than regular rice. The most common forms of cloth as currency in ancient Korea were [[hemp]], [[ramie]], and [[silk]].<ref name="NIKHCurrency"/> Other goods were calculated as having a certain value that was in relation to fundamental commodities such as grain, rice, and cloth. As a result of the ancient barter-based economy some modern elderly [[South Korea]]ns still use the phrase "Go to the market and sell some rice" which evokes the idea of trading rice for other products.<ref name="NIKHCurrency"/> It would not be until the 17th century that coinage fully replaced the barter system throughout the entire [[Korean peninsula]]. Hemp was first the most common form of cloth currency but later cotton cloth (or ''pohwa'') would become the dominant form of cloth money.<ref name="AncientHistoryEncyclopedia">{{cite web|url= https://www.ancient.eu/Korean_Coinage/#ci_related_content_outer_wrapper|title= Ancient Korean Coinage.|date=25 September 2016|accessdate=1 October 2019|author= [https://www.ancient.eu/user/markzcartwright/ Mark Cartwright]|publisher= [[Ancient History Encyclopedia]]|language=en}}</ref> Since the [[Three Kingdoms of Korea|Three Kingdoms]] period, silk was considered to be one of the most highly valued medium of exchange.<ref name="NIKHCurrency"/> The first definitive record of currency use in Korea appears in the [[Goryeo]] period (918–1392).<ref>''A New History of Korea'' by Ki-baik Lee ([[Harvard University Press]], 1984; p. 122).</ref> Early in that period, even though some imported [[Ancient Chinese coinage|Chinese currency]] from the [[Tang dynasty|Tang]] and [[Song dynasty|Song dynasties]] were in circulation, commodity currency such as grain and linen continued in general circulation.

The ''oshujeon'' would continue to circulate in the later kingdoms of [[Goguryeo]] and [[Silla]] of the Korea Three Kingdoms period up to the 10th century CE.<ref name="AncientHistoryEncyclopedia"/> Today ''oshujeon'' are most commonly found in the tombs of the former [[Lelang Commandery]].<ref name="AncientHistoryEncyclopedia"/> Around this time period, the Goryeo government issued a new monetary policy regarding the minting and distribution of cash coins. This decree was implemented to both strengthen royal authority and to regulate the national finances of Korea.<ref name="NIKHCurrency"/> == Cash coins == === ''Geonwon Jungbo'' cash coins === The first cash coins that were allegedly minted in Korea occurred under the reign of [[Seongjong of Goryeo|King Seongjong]] in the year Seongjong 15 (996 AD). It bore the inscription "Geonwon Jungbo" (乾元重寶, 건원중보) on its obverse and "Dongguk" (東國, 동국), which could be translated as "the country of the East", on its reverse. <ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo">{{cite web|url= https://baike.sogou.com/m/v44424178.htm|title= 乾元重宝背东国.|date=2019|accessdate=30 September 2019|author= Sogou Baike (搜狗百科)|publisher= [[Sogou]] (搜狗公司)|language=zh-cn}}</ref> This series of cash coins bore the same inscription as the Tang dynasty Qianyuan Zhongbao (乾元重寶) cash coins, but the text "Dongguk" was added to its reverse to indicate that the coin was from a country east of China. The ''Geonwon Jungbo'' were manufactured in both [[bronze]] and iron.<ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo"/> The attribution of the ''Geonwon Jungbo'' to Seongjong is controversial. This is because no ancient Korean historical references mention this series of cash coins and the ''Geonwon Jungbo'' did not appear in any coin catalogues until the year 1938 when a Japanese coin catalogue named ''East Asian Money'' (東亞錢志) attributed it as being an early Korean issue.<ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo"/> After its initial attribution notable Chinese numismatist [[Ding Fubao]] quoted this book in one of his works in 1940.<ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo"/> It is speculated by some Chinese numismatists that the attribution of this series of cash coins to Goryeo may be because of cash coins with similar inscriptions being listed in the "Qian Zhi", a Chinese coin catalogue published in the year 1149 (Shaoxing 19) during the [[Southern Song dynasty]] as this catalogue listed not only Chinese cash coins but also Japanese, Vietnamese, Korean, and [[Southeast Asia]]n coins.<ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo"/> Because of where these cash coins are usually found in the modern era and due to the lack of historical records, it is sometimes attributed to the ancient Korean kingdom of [[Balhae]].<ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo"/> But no historical records exist from Balhae in regard to its coinage so the exact origins of the ''Geonwon Jungbo'' remain a mystery.<ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo"/> Because of these findings many mainstream Chinese numismatists do not attribute the ''Geonwon Jungbo'' to Goryeo. Other arguments set forth is that "Dongguk" is an abbreviation for "Haidong Shengguo", one of the names of Balhae, the fact that Balhae was a major exporter of copper to the Tang dynasty and had a very prosperous economy and a developed culture, this meant that Balhae might have issued its own coinage as it had an extremely well developed copper melting industry, furthermore Balhae used the same calendar as the Tang dynasty so when the Tang dynasty entered the Qianyuan era Balhae entered the Geonwon era.<ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo"/> During its heyday Balhae was complete imitation of the Tang dynasty with its [[Three Departments and Six Ministries]] system,<ref name="Dillon2016">{{cite book|author=Michael Dillon|title=Encyclopedia of Chinese History|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kp6iDQAAQBAJ&pg=PT95|date=1 December 2016|publisher=Taylor & Francis|isbn=978-1-317-81715-4|page=95}}</ref> Balhae was strongly influenced by the Tang on political, economic, cultural, and military levels and the country was commonly referred to as "Dongguk" because of its geographical location.<ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo"/> Meanwhile it is very unlikely that Goryeo would’ve adopted the Tang dynasty Qianyuan Zhongbao inscription as by its time this series of cash coins came to be associated with the inflation and political instability of the late Tang period.<ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo"/> Another hypothesis claims that the Geonwon Jungbo were either a commemorative issue or a military issue akin to the much later [[Qianlong Tongbao]] cash coins issued during the [[Battle of Ngọc Hồi-Đống Đa]] campaign which had the characters "安南" ([[Vietnam|Annam]]) inscribed on its reverse.<ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo"/> In the modern era these cash coins are mostly unearthed in the Chinese province of [[Liaoning]] and [[North Korea]]. Some of them being unearthed in the city of [[Kaiyuan, Liaoning]].<ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo"/> The iron cash coins are more commonly found than the bronze ones. Currently only 10 pieces of the ''Geonwon Jungbo'' are known to exist making it an extremely valued object among [[East Asia]]n coin collectors.<ref name="SogouBaikeGeonwonJungbo"/> {| class="wikitable" |- !
