| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion within the coin field. Reading top to bottom, the characters 常 and 平 form 'Sangpyeong,' the name of the Joseon Dynasty's Ever-Normal Office (Sangpyeong-cheong), responsible for price regulation and currency issuance. Reading right to left, the characters 通 and 寶 form 'Tongbo,' the standard term for circulating coinage. All four characters are rendered in traditional Chinese regular script (kaishu). The coin is cast with a plain outer rim and a central square perforation typical of East Asian cash coinage of the period. |
