The hwan was introduced in February 1953 as a direct response to wartime hyperinflation, replacing the won at 1 hwan to 100 won. With the Korean War still active and domestic printing infrastructure destroyed or compromised, the Bank of Korea turned to the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing — the same facility producing American Federal Reserve notes — to produce the series.
Pick 13 is among the earliest issues under the new currency regime. The armistice came in July 1953, just months after these notes entered circulation.
