| Beschrijving keerzijde | Cast reverse displaying two Chinese characters in traditional regular script arranged vertically above and below the central square hole. The character 捴 (Chong), denoting the General Military Office (捻戎廳, Chongyungjong), appears above the perforation, while the cyclical character 昃 (Ch'uk), representing the declining afternoon sun and serving as a mint series designator, appears below. Both characters are raised in bold relief against a plain, flat field, bounded by the inner square rim of the perforation and a raised outer circular rim. The sparse, functional design is consistent with standard Joseon-period mint and series identification practice on cash coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Chong" series of cash coins was authorized under King Yeongjo as part of a broader effort to stabilize a copper currency that had been plagued by regional counterfeiting and unauthorized private casting since the late seventeenth century. The Joseon court had repeatedly suspended and reinstated copper coinage across the preceding decades, and this issue falls within a period of cautious re-expansion. The Ch'uk cyclical date narrows production to 1757 — a single year within the authorized range, if the date refers to the casting year rather than the series authorization.
