| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform layout within the coin field. Reading top to bottom and right to left, the characters read 常平通寶 (Sangpyong Tongbo), identifying this coin as currency issued under the Sangpyeong (Ever-Normal) Treasury system of the Joseon Dynasty. The characters are rendered in a formal clerical script style typical of Korean cash coinage of the period. No additional decorative elements appear in the field. |
