| Obverse description | Cast copper cash-type coin featuring a central square perforation framed by a raised square collar. The four quadrants of the field bear the four Chinese characters of the reign legend reading clockwise from the top: 常 (top), 通 (right), 平 (bottom), 寶 (left), forming the inscription 常平通寶 (Sangpyeong Tongbo), rendered in bold regular script (kaishu). A broad, plain raised rim encircles the entire design. The surface displays a dark olive-green patina consistent with aged cast copper. |

| Reverse description | Cast copper reverse featuring a central square perforation with a raised square collar. Two Chinese mint-control characters are positioned in the upper and lower quadrants flanking the central hole: 全 (Jeon, abbreviated mint mark for Jeonju) above and 玄 (Hyeon, a serial or batch designator) below, both rendered in bold regular script. The left and right fields are blank. A wide, plain raised rim borders the coin. Heavy green and brown patination obscures portions of the field, reflecting the coin's circulation wear and age. |
