This one was charmed with a red background, much of which has worn off. It's possible that the reverse had green inlay at one time, with only traces remaining. In this photo has the Obverse/Reverse images are flipped.
Sang P'yong T'ong Bo, Hojo Treasury Department
Korea, ca 1866. Obverse Image: Four Chinese characters read top, bottom, right, left Obverse Text: Romanization: SANG / P'YONG / T'ONG / BO (Translation: Always Even Currency). Reverse Image: Character for Hojo Treasury Department at top, denomination read right, left, bottom. Reverse Text: Romanization: HO / TANG / BAE / CHON (Translation: Character for Hojo Treasury Department, worth one hundred).
Finally! An excellent work on Korean coins in English. It also describes the entire history of Korea in relation to their coinage. Past erroneous information is corrected and details of varieties are clearly illustrated. This is an amazing resource for numismatists and collectors. I thank Calvin Taehun Jin at Arirang Numismatics, and you will too. Read and Free Download "Coinage of Late Modern Korea" at this: [ link ]
