Description

This certificate of annual stipend is one issued to Choe Yu-ryeon in 1395 (the 4th year of the reign of King Taejo, founder of the Joseon Dynasty) for his conspicuous role in the foundation of the new dynasty. Issued by Gongsindogam (Office of Records for Meritorious Subjects), the certificate contains statements about 208 items including the beneficiary’s name and position, details of meritorious deeds, list of meritorious subjects, and signature of the officials in charge of the issuance. It gives a glimpse of how the Joseon Dynasty was established, how meritorious retainers are treated, and what an official document of the time was like.
