| Obverse description | Central square hole flanked by the four-character inscription 常平通寶 (Sangpyong Tongbo), reading top-bottom-right-left in regular script (kaishu). The characters 常 (top) and 平 (bottom) appear on the vertical axis, while 通 (right) and 寶 (left) appear on the horizontal axis. The legend identifies the coin as currency of the Sangpyeong (Ever-Normal) Treasury, the principal monetary authority of the Joseon Dynasty. The field is plain, and the square perforation is cleanly struck at center. |
