| Reverse description | The reverse bears two Chinese characters in the field flanking the central square hole: 禁 (Kum) positioned at top and 宿 (Su) positioned at bottom. The character 禁 identifies the issuing military mint authority as the Forbidden Guard (Geumwiyeong, or Court Guard Military Unit), serving as the mint mark. The character 宿 denotes the lunar station (constellation) series designation, indicating this coin belongs to a specific emission within the Joseon cast coin system organized by the twenty-eight lunar lodges. Plain raised inner and outer rims frame the reverse field in a style consistent with large-type Joseon mun coinage of 1752. |
