In 1909, the Bank of Korea (韓國銀行) was founded in Seoul as a central bank and began issuing currency of modern type. Bank of Korea notes were dated 1909 and issued in 1910 and 1911. After Korea lost her sovereignty to Japan in 1910, the Bank of Korea was renamed the Bank of Chosŏn (朝鮮銀行). The first Bank of Chosŏn note was dated 1911 and issued in 1914. 1 yen, 5 yen, 10 yen, and 100 yen were issued regularly, while there were occasionally some sen notes (5, 10, 20, 50 sen). 1000 yen was printed but never issued at the end of World War II. The earlier issues were redeemable "in Gold or Nippon Ginko Note". A similar phrase was written in Japanese on later issues.
