| Additional information |
Myanmar's 1998 bullion issues were produced during the SLORC-to-SPDC transition period, when the military junta rebranded itself while maintaining identical command structures. The Year of the Tiger denomination fits within a broader zodiac bullion program the Central Bank ran through the late 1990s, partly as a foreign exchange mechanism at a time when Myanmar's official kyat rate bore almost no relationship to black market reality.
