Mu Peacock Silver Coin Varieties
Mu Peacock Silver Coins are divided into 2 varieties on the SCWC catalogue, namely Km7.1-7.2. In the “The Coins and Banknotes of Burma”, Mu silver coins are classified into main type 11.4 and six variants 11.4a-f. The differences between its various varieties are mainly due to the lack of completeness and changes in the figures of the date (blue rectangle), denominations (red oval) and their legs (green circle).

Since not all types have pictures in the “The Coins and Banknotes of Burma”, they can only be retrieved in the database by text. During this process, it was found that 11.4a and 11.4d appeared in the proof coins at the same time, but did not appear in the circulating coins, nor did a single feature appear. The picture in 11.4a in the book was also missed the year leg (ie 11.4d features). Possibly
Proof = 11.4a = 11.4d
Many varieties have other additional alterations, especially in 11.4e, there are many variations in the legs of denomination and the date. The following lists some of them for reference:
| Photo | Category | Description |
