Deep indigo and soft turquoise engraving surround the youthful portrait of General Aung San, while the reverse introduces a quieter vision of labor rooted in the tropical landscape of Burma.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse is anchored by General Aung San framed within dense ornamental engraving and geometric Burmese patterns, creating a formal composition shaped by discipline, authority, and post-independence national identity. Subtle tonal transitions and intricate linework reinforce the restrained visual character of Burma’s early Kyat series.

Reverse

In contrast, the reverse presents a palm climber ascending a tall tree beside oversized denomination numerals rendered in flowing ornamental forms. The scene introduces a human and agricultural dimension, linking everyday labor to the broader national economy through an unusually minimalist composition.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, this issue is admired for balancing political portraiture with rural economic symbolism, while preserving the highly controlled engraving style characteristic of Burma’s state-produced banknotes of the early 1970s.
