Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1970 Myanmar 2 Mu gold coin is that it was issued by the Patriotic Liberation Army (PLA) as a form of rebel coinage during a time of political turmoil in the country. The PLA, which was a communist insurgency group, produced a series of coins in the early 1970s as a way to fund their activities and challenge the legitimacy of the government's currency. The 2 Mu coin, made of .999 gold and weighing 4 grams, is one of the most well-known and sought-after coins from this series. Despite its origins, the coin has become a prized collector's item and a symbol of Myanmar's complex history.
