| 表面の説明 | 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. |

| 裏面の説明 | The reverse features a four-line inscription in Burmese script denoting the denomination, arranged within two distinct sections and enclosed within a wreath border. The legend is divided horizontally into upper and lower registers, each framed by the encircling wreath composed of foliate elements. The Burmese characters are boldly rendered, filling the available field within the wreath. The overall layout is symmetrical and characteristic of the denominational reverses used on Konbaung dynasty copper coinage. |

Tharawaddy Min came to power in 1837 after deposing his brother Bagyidaw, and this issue — among the first struck under his reign — was produced at a moment when the Konbaung dynasty was still reeling from the humiliation of the First Anglo-Burmese War and the loss of Arakan and Tenasserim to British India. The 1/4 Anna denomination itself signals the encroaching influence of British Indian monetary conventions on Burmese coinage, a pragmatic concession to cross-border commerce rather than any reform of domestic currency practice.
KM#1.1 distinguishes this from the closely related 1.2 variety by die alignment and pellet arrangement — details that matter considerably given how few examples surface in collectible condition.
