| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion within a plain circular border. Reading clockwise from top: 常 (Sang), 寶 (Bo), 平 (Pyong), 通 (Tong), forming the legend 常平通寶 (Sangpyong Tongbo), meaning 'Ever-Normal Currency,' the standard inscription of the Joseon-era Sangpyeong Tongbo coinage issued under the Department of Constant Equalization. The characters are rendered in traditional Chinese regular script (kaishu) in a bold, cast style typical of Korean cash coinage of this period. |
