<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TuckHard, post: 8148461, member: 102653&quot;]I shared this coin not too long ago but it&#039;s a recent addition and is the largest ancient coin in my collection. It measures 9.5 grams and is 31mm wide. The coin is a local imitation of a Pyu silver coin from the city-state Halin in ancient Burma, probably c. 400-600 AD. It&#039;s not really clear where the various imitation types were minted but this example is from a Bangkok dealer. I have it compared to my smallest coin here, which is also from ancient Burma. The tiny 7mm wide coin is bracteate meaning paperthin with the single design stamped through the reverse to appear on the obverse. The coin is only 0.03 grams, making it a 1/300 unit denomination when compared to the large full unit.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1421326[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p><p>Next: Same theme[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
