Obverse description Central square hole flanked by a four-character legend arranged in cruciform format around the perforation. Reading top to bottom: 常平 (Sang Pyeong), and right to left: 通寶 (Tong Bo), together forming the classic Sang Pyeong Tong Bo inscription, meaning 'Ever-Constant Circulating Treasure.' The characters are rendered in regular script (해서체) within a plain circular field, consistent with the cast Joseon cash coin tradition.
