Obverse description A stylized peacock displayed in left profile occupies the central field, its elaborate tail feathers fanned outward and rendered in a distinctive stippled pattern characteristic of Burmese coinage of the period. The bird stands with its head raised and body facing left, depicted in a folk-art style typical of the Konbaung dynasty coinage. Burmese script inscriptions appear in the field surrounding the peacock device. The overall design is somewhat irregular in striking, consistent with the crude minting techniques employed at this period.
