| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash-type coin featuring a central square hole framed by a raised rim on all four sides. The four-character legend 東國重寶 (Tong Guk Chung Bo) is arranged in the traditional cross-reading format around the central aperture: 東 (East) at the top, 重 (Heavy/Important) at the right, 國 (Nation) at the bottom, and 寶 (Treasure) at the left, each character rendered in regular script (kaishu) in raised relief. A plain raised outer rim encircles the field, consistent with standard Goryeo cast coinage conventions. The surfaces display characteristic casting texture with areas of olive-green and earthy patination, attesting to considerable age and burial. |
