| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash coin of the Joseon Dynasty featuring the four-character legend 常平通寶 (Sangpyeong Tongbo) arranged in the traditional cross pattern around a central square hole. The character 常 (Sang) appears at the top, 平 (Pyeong) at the bottom, 通 (Tong) to the right, and 寶 (Bo) to the left, all rendered in regular script (해서체). The field is flat and unadorned, enclosed within a plain raised rim, consistent with the cast production methods of the Joseon royal mints. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features two Chinese characters arranged vertically above and below the central square hole, identifying the issuing mint and series.

The fields are plain and undecorated, enclosed by a raised rim.
