| Obverse description | Central square hole surrounded by four Chinese characters arranged in cruciform fashion within the coin field. Reading top to bottom: 常平 (Sangpyeong), referring to the Joseon-era Sangpyeong office responsible for price stabilization; reading right to left: 通寶 (Tongbo), the standard East Asian term for circulating currency. The characters are cast in relief against a plain field, executed in the conventional style of Korean cash coinage of the Joseon period. |
