| Reverse description | Cast copper reverse displaying a central square perforation enclosed by a raised square inner rim, with two Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) positioned in the field: 禁 (Kum) above the central hole and 月 (Wol/Moon) below, identifying the issuing mint office (Kumwiyong, the Court Guard Military Unit) and the production series or batch designation. The remaining quadrants of the field are plain and unadorned. The broad flat rim encircles the design, consistent with standard Joseon dynasty cash coinage practice. |
