Obverse description Central device depicts a peacock displayed in full fan, shown in profile standing upon a decorative pedestal, its elaborate tail feathers spread symmetrically and rendered in fine relief. Burmese script legends flank the peacock on both sides within the field. The coin border is defined by a continuous beaded inner circle. The peacock, a royal symbol of the Konbaung Dynasty, is rendered in a stylized artistic tradition consistent with Burmese court iconography of the mid-19th century.

Reverse description Two symmetrical olive or laurel branches rise from the base and curve inward to frame a central cartouche containing two lines of Burmese script denoting the denomination and date. Additional Burmese inscriptions appear in the field surrounding the wreath. The border is formed by a beaded circle consistent with that of the obverse. The overall composition follows a classic wreath-and-legend format adapted to Burmese royal numismatic convention.
