Reverse description Plain cast field surrounding the central square hole, with two Chinese characters in regular script positioned in the upper and lower quadrants. The character 訓 (Hun), denoting the Military Training Command (訓練都監, Hullyondogam), appears at the top, while the character 月 (Wol, meaning "Moon"), identifying the series or batch designation, appears at the bottom. The left and right quadrants are blank, consistent with the standard two-character reverse format used on Joseon 2-mun cash coins issued by this mint. The raised rim and square hole rim reflect typical Joseon cast coinage craftsmanship.
