| Reverse description | The reverse displays two Chinese characters in raised relief flanking the central square perforation, following the standard Joseon mint-mark convention. The mint identifier 均 (Kyun), denoting the Government Tithe Office (均役廳, Kyunyokchong), appears above the square hole, while the series numeral 五 (O, meaning Five) is positioned below, identifying this piece as belonging to Series 5 of that mint's output. The field is plain and undecorated, and the broad outer rim retains the characteristic roughness of the sand-cast technique. |
