Do we have any 19th Century Korean experts?

Seller has the wrong country, but the right date for KM#1116 - Year 2 of Emperor Kuang Mu (1898). It's 17.2g, ~27mm of copper, but are the obverse characters the small, medium or large varietyimage

There's a very large value differential!

    They are not large, for sure. The large characters are very clearly big and fat. This is most likely the small character variety. The medium is quite hard to tell from the small but I would go with small on this one.

    Anyone else care to look? I have trouble with the medium/small difference.

    Someone once told me the measurements of the characters in mm but I forgot. I will have to ask again.
