Front: The Karaweik Palace, a royal barge-shaped replica of a Burmese royal barge on Kandawgyi Lake in Yangon. Built in 1972–1974, this concrete structure serves as a restaurant and cultural venue, designed to resemble the royal barge (karaweik) of the Burmese monarchs and is one of Myanmar's most iconic modern architectural symbols, representing traditional Burmese royal grandeur.

Back: A chinthe, the mythical leogryph (lion-griffin hybrid) that serves as a protective guardian figure in Burmese Buddhist culture. Chinthes are traditionally placed in pairs at the entrances of pagodas and temples throughout Myanmar to ward off evil spirits; they are among the most ubiquitous symbols in Burmese religious and cultural iconography, representing strength and protection.

The story

Background & history

This 10 Kyat note is part of Myanmar's long-running series issued since 1973. The kyat has been Myanmar's currency since 1952, replacing the Burmese rupee. This particular design featuring the Karaweik Palace and chinthe has remained largely unchanged across multiple printings from the 1970s through the 1990s and beyond, issued under different political regimes (from socialist Burma to the State Law and Order Restoration Council/military junta period). Serial numbering on Myanmar notes does not encode issue years in a publicly documented manner, so precise dating requires cross-reference with signature combinations or documented print runs. The denomination remains in active circulation as a low-value note.
