The characters 常平 (Sangpyeong), referring to the Joseon-era Sangpyeong treasury office, appear in the top and bottom positions, while 通寶 (Tongbo), meaning 'circulating currency,' occupy the right and left positions respectively. The field is plain, with no decorative border or rim embellishment beyond the cast edge. |
