| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin with a central square hole. The obverse bears four Chinese characters arranged around the central perforation in the traditional cardinal-point layout. Reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left, the legend reads 常平通寶 (Sangpyong Tongbo), identifying the coin as currency of the Sangpyeong (Ever-Normal) system of the Joseon Dynasty. The characters are rendered in regular script (kaishu) within a plain, unadorned field, consistent with the austere aesthetic of Joseon-period cast coinage. |
