| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicts a peacock displayed to the left in full plumage, its elaborate tail feathers fanned out in a broad semicircular display, rendered in fine engraved detail. The bird stands upon a decorative mound or rocky ground, with its neck curved gracefully and its head turned to the left. The central motif is surrounded by a toothed or dentilated inner border, with small ornamental scroll or floral devices placed symmetrically in the field around the peacock. A Burmese inscription reading တံဆိပ်တော် (meaning 'Royal Seal') appears in the field. The overall design reflects the traditional Konbaung dynasty royal peacock iconography used as the dynastic emblem of Burma. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mindon Min did not formally ascend the Burmese throne until 1853, making an 1852-dated trial piece an artifact of the transitional period following the Second Anglo-Burmese War, which stripped Burma of Pegu and Martaban and left the kingdom scrambling to assert its remaining independence through, among other things, a modernized coinage program. Trial strikes in lead were a standard proofing method for dies before committing to silver or gold production.
Whether this piece reflects Mindon's own initiative or that of his predecessor Pagan Min — deposed mid-conflict — remains an open question in Burmese numismatic literature.
