| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash-type coin centered on a raised square central hole surrounded by a plain inner square rim. The four Chinese characters of the Sangpyong Tongbo legend are arranged in cruciform fashion around the central aperture in regular script (kaishu): 常 (Sang) at top, 平 (Pyong) at bottom, 通 (Tong) at right, and 寶 (Bo) at left, reading top-bottom then right-left. The characters are rendered in bold relief against a flat, unadorned field, framed by a broad raised outer rim typical of Joseon-period cast coinage. |
