| Obverse description | Central device depicts a stylized peacock displayed with wings fully spread and tail feathers fanned in relief, rendered in a traditional Burmese artistic style. The bird faces left with detailed cross-hatched body plumage and flowing wing and tail feathers radiating symmetrically. A Burmese legend arcs across the upper field, and the weight designation '8gr.' appears flanking the peacock at left and right in the mid-field. A date range in Burmese numerals is inscribed along the lower periphery. The design is contained within a raised rim. |

| Additional information |
The Patriotic Liberation Army was one of several ethnic and ideological insurgent factions operating in Burma's northeastern Shan State during the late 1960s and early 1970s, a period when the central Rangoon government had effectively lost administrative control over vast interior territories. Rebel coinages from this region and era were issued primarily to assert political authority and fund operations — not for everyday commerce.
Gold strikes at .999 fineness from insurgent groups of this period are exceptionally rare survivors. Most were melted or confiscated.
