Reverse description Cast reverse centred by a square perforation with a raised square rim, the field divided into four quadrants by the customary cash-coin layout. The mint identifier 京水 (Kyong Su), denoting the Kyonggi Naval Station (京畿水營), is split across the top and right positions — 京 above the square hole and 水 to the right — while the numeral 二 (I, meaning 2), indicating the denomination of 2 mun, appears to the left. The reverse field is comparatively rough in texture, consistent with mid-18th-century Korean cast coinage practice.
