The Korean yen was the currency of Korea between 1910 and 1945. It was equivalent to the Japanese yen and consisted of Japanese currency and banknotes issued specifically for Korea. The yen was subdivided into 100 sen. It replaced the Korean won at par and was replaced by the South Korean won and the North Korean won at par.
Banknotes
From 1902-1910, banknotes were issued by Dai Ichi Ginko (First National Bank of Japan, 株式會社第一銀行, Kabushiki Gaisha Daiichi Ginkō). Denominations included 10 sen, 20 sen, 50 sen, 1 yen, 5 yen, and 10 yen. The sen notes were vertical and resembled the Japanese sen notes of 1872 and the Japanese military yen at the turn of the century. These notes were redeemable in "Japanese Currency at any of its Branches in Korea"
In 1909, the Bank of Korea (1909) (韓國銀行) was founded in Seoul as a central bank and began issuing currency of modern type. Bank of Korea notes were dated 1909 and issued in 1910 and 1911. After Korea lost sovereignty to Japan in 1910, the Bank of Korea was renamed the Bank of Chosen (朝鮮銀行, Korean: Joseon Eunhaeng, Japanese: Chōsen Ginkō). The first Bank of Chosen note was dated 1911 and issued in 1914. 1 yen, 5 yen, 10 yen, and 100 yen were issued regularly, while there were occasionally some sen notes (5, 10, 20, 50 sen). 1000 yen was printed but never issued at the end of World War II. The earlier issues were redeemable "in Gold or Nippon Ginko Note". A similar phrase was written in Japanese on later issues.
Il me suffit parfois d'un geste, d'une rose d'un reste, de larmes Je ne ferai aucune promesse,je laisse un blanc, un blâme Je ne suis pas toujours en reste d'un zeste de vague à l'âme Mais si je devais lâcher du leste, se serait aujourd'hui Madame Avant que tu t'en ailles Décrocher les étoiles Avant nos retrouvailles Décrocher les étoiles Laisse les autres parler de toi, le reste est à venir Laisse les autres parler de moi, ils ne m'ont pas vu sourire Oui j'ai tort d'écouter parfois les autres le reste, le pire A toujours se perdre au même endroit, je préfère encore partir Avant que tu t'en ailles Décrocher les étoiles Avant nos retrouvailles Décrocher les étoiles
