| Descrizione del dritto |
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. |

| Descrizione del rovescio |
The reverse presents two Chinese characters in raised regular script disposed vertically above and below the central square perforation. The character 咸 (Ham, denoting the Hamgyong province) appears above the hole, and 宿 (Suk, a cyclical designation indicating the series or batch number) appears below. The field is otherwise plain, enclosed within a raised outer rim, with no additional ornamentation. The casting quality is consistent with that of the obverse, exhibiting the characteristic flat inner rim framing the square hole. |
