This multiple key holder from the 19th century in the late Joseon Period features three butterfly-shaped coin charms inscribed with the four-character inscription, geumjeongokchok (“gold cauldron and jade candle”), and one spool-shaped coin charm with the inscription, bugwiheungbok (“wealth, nobility, and great fortune”). These are enclosed by nine fan-shaped coin charms inscribed with bogiseochung (“treasures full of energy and auspiciousness”), and nine coins with a square hole in the center.
