In the great scheme of coins they are rare, but they lack the collector interest that drives market price. </p><p><br /></p><p>This particular example is the earliest struck coin of the Malay region specifically, there are earlier coins of Thailand, India and Burma that circulated in the coastal areas begining in the 4th century AD.</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin pictured below is an indigenous coin (late 8th century AD). The condition of the coin pictured is far better than most that are available. This cost me about $25 dollars a year or two ago on ebay. You should have no problem finding an example on ebay or from a South East Asian coin dealer here in the US.
