Reverse description Round cast bronze cash coin with a central square hole flanked by two Chinese characters in regular script (楷書): 訓 (Hun) positioned above the square perforation and 地 (Chi) positioned below. The character 訓 identifies the issuing mint as the Military Training Command (訓練都監, Hullyondogam), while 地 serves as a series or batch identifier. The characters are boldly rendered in raised relief against a flat field, framed by a raised inner square rim and an outer border rim. The reverse field shows natural patination consistent with a cast bronze circulation issue.
