4 Mu Patriotic Liberation Army - Rebel Coinage

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.
