| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform order within the coin field. Reading top to bottom, the characters 常平 (Sangpyeong) identify the Sangpyeong agency of the Korean Joseon Dynasty; reading right to left, the characters 通寶 (Tongbo) denote the denomination as currency. The inscription is rendered in regular script (kaishu) and the characters are evenly spaced around the central perforation, a design convention standard to Joseon cash coinage. |
