| Reverse description | The reverse displays two Chinese characters positioned above and below the central square hole, identifying the issuing mint bureau and the series number. The character 宣 (Son/Seon) appears at the top, denoting the Seonhyecheong — the Rice and Cloth Department responsible for this issue — while the character 二 (二, meaning 'two') appears at the bottom, indicating the second series of this denomination. The field is otherwise plain, consistent with standard Joseon cast coinage practice. |
