| Reverse description | Two Chinese characters in regular script arranged vertically around the central square hole, reading 捴 (Chong, top) and 辰 (Chin, bottom). The character 捴 serves as a mint office designation identifying the Chong-yung-cheong (General Military Office), while 辰 denotes a heavenly stem used as a cyclical date marker or mint branch identifier within the Joseon cash coinage system. The reverse field is otherwise plain, with no additional ornamentation or border decoration, consistent with standard Joseon cast cash practice. |
