Information about Burmese coins and banknotes has previously been hard to obtain, being scattered in several publications either long since out of print, or not generally available, or inaccessible to a large public through being in Burmese. This book attempts to cover in detail all the issues of Burma and Arakan, concentrating particularly on the period from the sixteenth century to the present. The text is fully illustrated, most of the banknotes being in colour. Much new material from contemporary chronicles, reports and letters is published here for the first time. Two of the chapters deal with Japanese and British World War II banknotes and so it is hoped that the book will also prove useful to collectors of military currency.

Personal notes. Great book, love it. I've always been fascinated by currency from this part of the world and this book has helped me no end. The pricing is out of date, but it still gives you a relative idea.

For international orders, all applicable import, duty and tax fees are the responsibility of the buyer.
