I just recieved a purchase of a banknote showing a peacock from India. I also recieved another banknote with a peacock theme...with a twist. What is the twist and where is it from?

Bangladesh did not have any notes with peacock...
How about Laos and Thailand but I suspect Myanmar or Burma have the notes with peacocks.

The only peacock note I know of is the Macedonian 10 Denari. But, if this is the note referred to, I am not sure what the twist is.

​Why don't you know? It is common from 640 B.C, that Bhutanese regional kings ordered coins to be minted in any symbol of Buddhism. Now banknotes, Banknotes too have symbols of Buddhism and peacock is one.

Actually, I think it is the raven crown for Bhutan. I have heard that the Shah of Iran actally sat on the Peacock throne...which was originally Indian...but no, im not thinking of Bhutan, Iran, or India...but it is an asian nation!

"​2 something", could that also be "20" or "200"? In that case my guess goes to Korea, 20 Sen 1904.

That was the twist. A person dressed up as a peacock. I had that note for years. And only just noticed recently the peacock costume. And actually because of the cultural crossroads, this could be the 봉 황 or the peacock! Awesome!
