| Obverse description | Cast bronze cash-type coin featuring four Chinese characters in regular script (kaishu) arranged in cruciform fashion around a central square hole. Reading top-to-bottom and right-to-left, the legend reads 三韓通寶 (Samhan Tongbo), meaning 'Circulating Currency of the Three Han [Korean States]'. The characters are set within a plain inner rim bordering the square perforation, with a raised outer rim encircling the field. The overall design follows the established East Asian cash coin convention, with no additional decorative elements in the field. |
