The small gold Pe coins are 1852 issued Km13 small peacock gold coins and 1866 issued Km19 lion (or unicorn) small gold coins. In The “The Coins and Banknotes of Burma”, there are two varieties of Km13 small peacock gold coins, the well struck 11.10a and the generally weak struck (or seen as worn) 11.10b. The overall number found on the Internet is relatively small, and the information is as follows:

Type Variety Found Quantity Weight (gram) “The Coins and Banknotes of Burma” Recorded Weight
Km13 11.10a 8 0.82, 0.85 0.65, 0.92
Km13 11.10b 4 0.75 0.77, 0.80
Km19 - 16 0.63, 0.73, 0.76, 0.76, 0.79 0.67

As “The Coins and Banknotes of Burma” stated, the 11.10a variety is the same as the silver coin A2 variety. The 11.10b missed two points on the right side of denomination unit, and its silver variety has not been found. In addition, its weight is lighter than that of 11.10a, so it can be believed to be a later struck product of 11.10a. As for the Km19 lion gold Pe, it is generally similar to other gold lion coins, a lot of them have been mounted. The weight is also close to the 11.10b.

Precautions:

  • The number of coins counted is too small, the statistics will not be accurate.
  • 11.10b is weak struck or worn, it is difficult to distinguish.
  • Some data collected are in text version, the same coin may be counted repeatly.
