| Obverse description | Central device depicts the Burmese royal peacock (hintha) displayed facing left in profile, with its elaborate tail feathers fully fanned and radiating outward to fill the field in a highly stylised decorative arrangement. The peacock, a traditional symbol of the Konbaung dynasty, stands upon a ground line with its plumage rendered in a series of concentric eye-like motifs. The overall design is characteristic of the indigenous artistic tradition of the Mandalay mint under King Mindon Min. |
