| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin featuring a central square perforation framed by four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu), arranged in the traditional cross-reading order: 朝 (top), 通 (right), 寶 (bottom), 鮮 (left), together reading 朝鮮通寶 (Joseon Tongbo), meaning 'currency of Joseon'. The boldly raised characters are set within a plain inner rim surrounding the square hole, with a raised outer rim encircling the flat field. The surface displays a natural dark brown and green patina consistent with age, and the casting is of typical quality for early Joseon period cash coinage. |
