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.
