| Beschrijving keerzijde | Cast copper reverse featuring four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform formation around the central square hole. Reading clockwise from the top: 户 (top), 當 (right — indicating the denomination 當百, 'worth one hundred'), 大 (bottom), 百 (left), collectively identifying both the issuing office (户, the Treasury/Hojo) and the face value (當百, equivalent to 100 mun). The characters are cast in bold relief within a wide, flat rim consistent with the obverse, and the overall workmanship reflects standard Joseon Treasury mint production of the 1866–1867 period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued to fund the reconstruction of Gyeongbokgung Palace, ordered by the Heungseon Daewongun following its destruction during the Imjin War some two and a half centuries earlier, this coin was an emergency fiscal measure rather than a routine monetary issue. The face value of 100 mun — grossly inflated relative to the standard one-mun cash coins already in circulation — triggered immediate economic disruption. Merchants refused it at face value, the public hoarded conventional coinage, and rampant inflation followed within months. Production was halted by 1867, less than a year after striking began.
