Actual mintage commenced 'Saturday, 9 waning Tasaungmon (11 November, 1865).

The machinery and dies for producing these silver coins were imported from Birmingham, England. These peacock coins were issued from the Mandalay Mint, which was set up within the Mandalay palace complex, the ruins of which are still in existence. In 1878, new bronze and gold coins bearing a lion motif were issued by Mindon's successor Thibaw. Thus, silver kyat production ceased.
