    I think they're some of the first instances of native coinage from South East Asia.
    Here's my only coin from the region.

    1 Massa Piloncito

    Gold
    Incused Lingam with Nagari legend 'Tha' on the reverse.
    Circa late 8th century
    From Mataram/Medang Kingdom of central Java ruled by the Sailendra dynasty, they develpoed the Hindu/Buddhist culture in the Southeast Asia, they also intermarried with the Sri Vijayans of Sumatra (whom would be later invaded by the Cholas in the 11th century).
