<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 2865238, member: 81887&quot;]Yes, they are made of lead.&nbsp; These are listed in Michael Mitchiner&#039;s &quot;Oriental Coins and Their Values, Volume II: Non-Islamic States and Western Colonies AD 600- 1979&quot;.&nbsp; In that book, they are attributed to the Khmer Kingdom of Angkor, in what is now Cambodia, c. 802-1450 AD, although that attribution has apparently been challenged by later research.&nbsp; (Since there&#039;s no inscription, figuring out who made them depends on archaeological finds and other circumstantial evidence.)&nbsp; The round piece is a lead unit, #2658-2662 in Mitchiner&#039;s catalogue, while the small four-petaled type is called a half-unit and is #2663-2665.&nbsp; There are also larger five-petaled 3 unit (11 grams), and round 6 unit and 20 unit pieces listed.&nbsp; I think most dealers will still list these and Khmer Kingdom (when they list them at all, they aren&#039;t particularly common).&nbsp; Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
