| Obverse description | A Chinthe — the mythological Burmese guardian creature combining the features of a lion and a dragon — rendered in bold relief at centre, depicted in a rearing stance facing right with elaborately detailed mane, scaled neck, and curling tail. The creature's powerful forelimbs are extended forward and its clawed feet are clearly articulated. The design is executed in a traditional Burmese artistic style with ornate decorative detailing throughout the body and collar area. The field is plain and unlettered, with no legend or inscription present. |

| Reverse description | The Burmese numeral '၄' (4) appears prominently in the upper centre of the field, with the denomination inscription 'တမတ်' (Pe) centred below it. Elaborate symmetrical scrolling floral sprays occupy the left and right portions of the field, framing the central inscription in an ornate decorative border. The Burmese date numerals '၁၉၅၀' appear at the bottom of the field below the floral motifs. The overall design is well-balanced with the denomination and date rendered in Burmese script throughout. |
