| Reverse description | The reverse field surrounds the central square hole with four Chinese characters in cruciform arrangement, characteristic of Joseon cash coinage. The character 禁 (Kum), identifying the issuing mint as the Kumwiyong (Court Guard Military Unit), appears at the top. The character 地 (Chi/Ji), denoting the Earth heavenly stem series and serving as a batch or series identifier, is positioned at the bottom. A crescent symbol appears to the right of the central hole, serving as an additional mint or batch mark. The overall style is consistent with mid-18th century cast bronze coinage produced at the Kumwiyong mint in Seoul. |
