| Obverse description | Four Chinese characters arranged in a cruciform pattern around a central square hole. Reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left in the traditional manner, the inscription reads 常平通寶 (Sangpyeong Tongbo), identifying this coin as currency of the Sangpyeong (Ever-Normal) Treasury of the Joseon Dynasty. The characters are rendered in regular script (kaishu) within a plain, unadorned field, with no additional decorative elements. |
