Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Pe - Mindon Min 1227 (1865) coin from Myanmar is that it features a unique blend of traditional Burmese design elements and Western-style numismatic motifs. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized peacock, which is a symbol of prosperity and good luck in Burmese culture, while the reverse side features a rendition of the Royal Arms of Burma, which was adopted during the reign of King Mindon Min. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the period of British colonial rule in Myanmar.
