| Obverse description | A full-plumage peacock vignette occupies the right side of the note, rendered in fine intaglio engraving against a light guilloche underprint. The centre field carries large Burmese script denoting the denomination, flanked by an ornate decorative border with scrollwork and floral motifs. A blank panel is reserved at left, likely for a watermark window, and the serial number appears twice in red. |
