Beschrijving keerzijde	The reverse features a multi-line inscription in Burmese script centered in the field, denoting the denomination and regnal or administrative authority. The legend is framed by two symmetrical foliate or floral branches extending from the lower field upward along both sides, forming a wreath-like border. The overall composition is typical of the cast lead coinage issued under the Konbaung dynasty for local circulation in Lower Burma.

Aanvullende informatie	Burma's 1/8 pya issues of 1869 were struck under the authority of the Konbaung dynasty during the reign of Mindon Min, one of the last kings to govern an independent Burmese state before the British annexed Upper Burma in 1885. Lead was a deliberate choice for the lowest fractional denominations — copper was reserved for higher values, and these tiny accounting units circulated primarily in bazaar trade rather than formal commerce. The KM#22.2 designation distinguishes a die variety within this series.
