<p>[QUOTE="TuckHard, post: 8307240, member: 102653"]This just came in yesterday and is something I'm very excited about, plus quite happy with the budget price I got it at. It's a silver full unit coin from the Pyu city-state of Sriksetra in upper Burma, probably circa 600-700 AD. I've been on a Southeast Asian coin deep dive for a couple years now and this makes my third large silver coin of the region. I'm very happy about this new addition.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1470271[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyu_city-states" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyu_city-states" rel="nofollow">Pyu</a> city-state of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Ksetra_Kingdom" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Ksetra_Kingdom" rel="nofollow">Sriksetra</a></p> <p style="text-align: center">c. 600-700 AD</p> <p style="text-align: center">AR Full Unit | 9.87 grams | 30mm wide</p> <p style="text-align: center">Obv: Bhadrapitha with five lamps above within a border and outer dots</p> <p style="text-align: center">Rev: Srivatsa center with nine dots within, above a sun right and moon left, to the left a detailed vajra and to the right a conch (sankh), below two wavy water lines</p> <p style="text-align: center">Ref: Mahlo #14a</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1470272[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: left"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: left">Here's a grouping of some of my ancient and early Southeast Asian coins.
