| Obverse description | A standing British lion confronts a crouching elephant, symbolising the submission of Burma to British power, with a Union flag staff to the left and palm trees in the background. A mahout is visible atop the elephant. Below the scene, a horizontal exergue line separates the main field from a lower register bearing a Persian legend and the date 1826 in Western numerals, with the engraver's signature W. DANIELL / W. WYON inscribed along the baseline. |
