| 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. |
