Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Pe - Mindon Min 1227 (1866) 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 portrait of King Mindon Min, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a peacock, which is a symbol of prosperity and good luck in Burmese culture. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that occurred during the period of British colonial rule in Myanmar.
