| Reverse description | The reverse displays three elements arranged around the central square hole: a mint mark character 禁 (Kum, denoting the Kumwiyong — Court Guard Military Unit) at the top, a small circle (○) to the left serving as a control mark, and the series numeral 五 (five) at the bottom indicating this coin belongs to the fifth series. The characters are cast in regular script, consistent with standard Joseon cash coinage conventions. The field is otherwise plain. |
