| Beschrijving voorzijde | Hammered silver flan bearing a multi-line inscription in Burmese script arranged across the entire field without a defined border. The legend, rendered in the characteristic rounded Burmese script, reads in four lines referencing the Burmese era year 1146 and the royal capital Amarapura. The surface displays the irregular, slightly convex form typical of hand-struck coinage of the Konbaung period, with patchy blue-green patina consistent with age. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bodawpaya seized the Burmese throne in 1782 by executing his nephew and systematically eliminating rival claimants — the tankah issued under his reign from the newly founded capital of Amarapura carried his royal style as Lord of that city, reflecting a deliberate break from the previous Konbaung seat at Inwa. The same year this coin was struck, Bodawpaya launched the invasion of Arakan, annexing the kingdom and seizing the Mahamuni Buddha image, which was dragged to Amarapura in a procession designed to legitimize his rule through sacred possession.
Burmese silver coinage of this type was cast rather than struck, produced in tical-weight units for royal treasury use rather than mass circulation.
