    This guy is just slightly smaller then a US half dollar.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks!

    It's actually from southeast Asia, the area of modern day Burma, circa 600-1200. I'll have to look up the exact variety for a more specific answer.

    Bangkokcoin has pics of these, but no pricing I am afraid. Bangkokcoin is owned by the lead author of "Siamese Coins, From Funan to the Fifth Reign". He is an American who changed his name to a Thai sounding one, (Ronochai for Ron).
