<p>[QUOTE="TuckHard, post: 4060363, member: 102653"]These small gold pieces are quite interesting, no one really knows how old they are and there's no mention of them anywhere. They also range in size a large bit, from 0.16g down to 0.055g that I've found so it doesn't seem like there is much standardization so I don't know if there really is a real denomination as much as they would use several of them at a time usually and weigh them as a group when making a purchase. The attribution should be to Sumatra rather than Java, they are almost always discovered in Palembang, Sumatra and were probably a local issue to the Srivijaya Empire during the time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
