| Reverse description | Central square hole flanked by two Chinese characters in the field, rendered in regular script (kaishu). The character 捴 (Chong), denoting the Chong'yungcheong (General Military Office), appears at the top, while the character 暑 (So, meaning 'heat' or 'summer'), used here as a series or version identifier, appears at the bottom. The plain field between the inner and outer raised rims is otherwise unadorned. This combination of mint-authority and series characters on the reverse is typical of Joseon-period cash coinage produced under specific government offices. |
