| Obverse description | Central device depicts a standing peacock displayed in profile to the right, its ornate tail fanned fully open and rendered in fine detail with ocellated feather tips arranged in a sweeping arc. The bird stands on both feet with wings partially extended, conveying a sense of regal poise. The central motif is surrounded by a decorative border of small floral rosettes evenly spaced around the inner circumference, enclosed within a beaded outer rim. The field is unlettered, with the peacock serving as the sole emblematic device, representing the Konbaung royal dynasty. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents two large Burmese inscriptions in the central field, denoting the denomination and regnal year in Burmese script. These legends are framed by a symmetrical wreath of olive or laurel branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow, their leaves rendered in fine relief. The border is ornamented with evenly spaced floral rosettes encircling the design, contained within a beaded rim consistent with the obverse. The overall composition is formal and heraldic in character, combining indigenous Burmese script with a Western-influenced wreath motif. |
