Simbolo:  ₩

El Won, apareció en el año 1945 después de la segunda guerra mundial, ya que para ese entonces la península se manejaba con el yen, la moneda de los invasores japoneses.

La aparición del Won, coincidió con la división del país, resultando en dos monedas diferentes, ambas llamadas won: won del Sur y el won del Norte.

El won surcoreano se fijó inicialmente para el dólar estadounidense a una tasa de 15 won = 1 dólar. En 1953 el primer won surcoreano, fue sustituido por el hwan en una tasa de 1 hwan = 100 won. Se re-introdujo en 1962 el won con una tasa de cambio de 10 hwan = 1 KRW, sin embargo en 1975 pasó a ser la única moneda de curso legal el won en Corea del Sur.

Symbol: ₩

 The Won appeared in 1945 after the Second World War, since at that time the peninsula was managed with the yen, the currency of the Japanese invaders.

 The appearance of the Won coincided with the division of the country, resulting in two different currencies, both called won: the South won and the North won.

The South Korean won was initially pegged to the US dollar at a rate of 15 won = $ 1.  In 1953, the first South Korean won was replaced by the hwan at a rate of 1 hwan = 100 won.  The won was re-introduced in 1962 with an exchange rate of 10 hwan = 1 KRW, however in 1975 the won became the only legal tender in South Korea.
