Copies of a priceless manuscript detailing the origins and workings of the Korean writing system, Hangeul will be sold as limited edition NFTs (non-fungible tokens), making this the first National Treasure of Korea to be put up for sale as a digital token. But the sale could stir up controversy over whether or not it should be allowed.
The Kansong Art Museum in Seongbuk District, northern Seoul, which stores the Hunminjeongeum Haeryebon, an illustrated handbook of the Korean writing system, stated Wednesday that it plans to mint the 15th century manuscript as an NFT with serial numbers and sell it to a limited number of 100 buyers. Each will be sold for 100 million won ($87,000).
