Reverse description The reverse features three Chinese characters arranged around the central square hole in the conventional positions of Joseon cash coinage. The character 武 (Mu), denoting the Hullyeondogam (Palace Guard Office) mint, appears at the top. At the bottom, 完 (Wan) serves as a secondary mint or workshop identifier. To the left, the numeral 一 (Il, meaning 'one') indicates the first series of this issue. All characters are cast in regular script in low relief against a plain field, following standard Joseon Dynasty minting conventions.
