A Peacock Silver Coin of the Kingdom of Burma (present-day Myanmar)

A handsome silver 1 kyat coin featuring a striking peacock with outspread wings. More than a decorative motif, the peacock was the emblem of the Konbaung dynasty, which ruled Burma at the time, and held particular significance for the kingdom.

Produced in nineteenth-century Burma during a period of upheaval occasioned by British expansion, the coin bears the dynastic peacock on the obverse, with a Burmese inscription enclosed within a foliate wreath on the reverse.

The date ¡°1214,¡± inscribed in Burmese numerals on the reverse, refers to the Burmese Era and corresponds to 1852¨C1853 CE. Production of this coinage, however, began in 1865.
