| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by a raised square border, with four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in the four cardinal positions around the perforation. Reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left, the legend reads 常平通寶 (Sangpyeong Tongbo), the standard inscription of Joseon cash coinage. The characters are rendered in a bold, slightly worn relief against a flat field, enclosed within a plain raised outer rim. The coin shows characteristic cast-bronze surface texture typical of Joseon-era mun coinage. |
