The central motif is surrounded by a raised inner border, with Burmese script characters (တံဆိပ်တော်, meaning 'Royal Stamp') arranged around the periphery at the cardinal and intercardinal positions. The entire design is contained within a toothed outer border. |

Pagan Min's reign lasted barely two years before his half-brother Mindon forced him into palace confinement in February 1853 — the same month British forces completed their annexation of Lower Burma in the Second Anglo-Burmese War. These pattern pieces were struck at Mandalay as part of a nascent attempt to establish a formal royal coinage, an effort that gained no traction under Pagan Min but was eventually pursued more seriously under Mindon himself in the 1860s. Whether this copper pattern ever reached circulation consideration is doubtful given the political collapse that immediately followed.
