| Obverse description | Cast copper cash coin of round form with a central square hole, the field bearing four Chinese characters in regular script (楷書) disposed in the conventional cruciform arrangement around the perforation. Reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left, the legend reads 常平通寶 (Sangpyong Tongbo), identifying this as a coin of the Joseon Dynasty's standard Sangpyong currency series. The characters are rendered in raised relief against a flat, unadorned field, with no inner or outer rim decoration beyond the plain raised border. The casting surface displays typical hand-finishing characteristics of Korean provincial mint production, with slight irregularities consistent with period manufacture. |
