| Reverse description | The reverse bears two Chinese characters positioned above and below the central square hole. The character 咸 (Ham), denoting the Hamgyong Provincial Office (咸鏡監營, Hamgyong Kamyong), appears at the top, serving as the mint mark. The character 荒 (Hwang), meaning 'barren' or 'wasteland', appears at the bottom and functions as a batch or series mark identifying this issue within the provincial mint's production sequence. Both characters are cast in regular script style, consistent with standard Joseon cash coin reverse conventions. |
