Pagan Kyat CS 1214 (1852) XF Details (Reverse Graffiti) NGC, KM11, Robinson & Shaw-10.2. Obv. Peacock with wings displayed and flanked by two groups of five rosettes. Rev. Denomination within wreath. A fascinating rarity and a variety that is a delight to encounter in any condition. The present example shows moderate, yet uniform wear, displays all of the signature design features in a satisfying fashion, and is supplemented by a pleasing blend of graphite and olive patina. Understood to be most likely a presentation or ceremonial piece this is just another testament to the caliber of this fine collection.
