The Joseon Tongbo was an inscription used on Korean cash coins during the Joseon period first from 1423 until 1425 and later again from 1625 until 1633.

But during the second attempt the Korean economy had evolved to become more reliant on trade and the need for coinage began to challenge the prevalence of barter in Korean society. In the year 1633 the Stabilisation Office introduced the Sangpyeong Tongbo cash coins whose popularity would cause the Joseon Tongbo inscription to be phased out.
