    It has the same oval shape... Can we see better pictures?

    Does not look like a koban to me. Language might be Thai. It's out of focus.

    Definitely not a Japanese Koban as there is no Japanese "kanji' written on the piece. I need to see clearer pictures. It could be Burmese. Characters to the lower left although unclear look like the Burmese script I saw while there.

    There shouldn't even be any portrait image in any koban for starters...
