Request for Correction of a Korea(Joseon) Mint Name [Risolto]

Hello,

On the following page: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/mint.php?id=5039

I received an inquiry regarding the mint name 江華管理營 being written as 沁華管理營.

In Korea, only 江華管理營 is used, and I could not find any cases where the term 沁華管理營 was used domestically.

I have attached the information provided by the inquirer along with references from some domestic catalogs.

↑Standard Catalog of World Coins

↑Old Coins of Koreahttps://en.numista.com/literature/volume.php?id=4779

↑The Catalog of Korean Coins and Banknoteshttps://en.numista.com/literature/volume.php?id=4790

↑Korean Coins and Banknotes Cataloguehttps://en.numista.com/literature/volume.php?id=4780

If there is no particular reason for using 沁華管理營, I would request a correction to 江華管理營, which is the historically and regionally accurate term.

江華管理營
(Kang Hwa Kwal Li Yong)

Best regards,

I just fixed it. Do you think it 沁華管理營 is worth mentioning in description as alternative name, or can it be fully dismissed?

Thank you! I don’t think it needs to be mentioned separately. 

My cautious guess is that most Joseon mints are labeled using the first character of the mint’s name, and this mint is an exception. I suspect there may have been some confusion when the page was created.

It would be nice if you could revise this as well. 

Done, thanks!
