Aanvullende informatie

Mindon Min introduced a standardized coinage for Burma in 1853 — the first machine-struck coins produced for the Konbaung Dynasty — following his establishment of a royal mint at Mandalay. The timing was not coincidental: British forces had just seized Lower Burma in the Second Anglo-Burmese War that same year, and the new coinage was in part a political assertion of sovereignty over what remained of the kingdom. Mindon Min never signed a formal peace treaty with Britain, a deliberate refusal he maintained until his death in 1878.
