| Obverse description | Cast round bronze cash coin with a central square hole. The obverse bears four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform around the central perforation: 常平 (Sangpyeong / Changping) reading top to bottom, and 通寶 (Tongbo / Tong bao, meaning 'circulating treasure') reading right to left. The characters are rendered in regular script (kaishu) in raised relief against a plain field, following the standard format of Korean Sangpyeong Tongbo coinage issued under the Joseon dynasty. |
