Hi All! I have had this lotus-shaped lead token or coin for years, and although it has always intrigued me / looked oddly familiar, it has been relegated to the 'identify later' box for most of the time that it has been in my possession. Any leads / an ID would be hugely appreciated. Many thanks in advance!
I haven't seen anything like it, but the style reminds me a bit of a Tibet tangka. You might also check Brunei.
I have gone down the Siam (Thailand), Burma, and Brunei routes in past, and although I sometimes get the vague sensation of getting close, I have never stumbled on anything quite similar enough to be considered a rough ID. Ill do some poking around the Tibet lead though - thanks for that!
I had one of these a few years back. very similar. https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces184818.html
I agree that it is a Cambodian Lotus Token Ayutthia and Angkor .They come in round and scalloped.Google Cambodian Lotus Token and you will find additional photos and Mitchiner NI reference numbers.
Wow! Absolutely agreed with Ayutthia and Angkor - thank you @alurid and @jtlartgallery for your replies!
