<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TuckHard, post: 5427970, member: 102653&quot;]I just got this oddity yesterday, this is a ring-money that was used by the Korintji/Kerinci people or tribe of Sumatra who lived in the interior of the island. The brass rings were used around 1700 until 1900 AD and were noted by numerous colonial historians, most notably Millies in his 1871 work that would become the first published piece on what would become Indonesian numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1235827[/ATTACH] Korintji People of Sumatra</p> <p style="text-align: center">Present-day Indonesia</p> <p style="text-align: center">c. 1700 - 1900 AD</p> <p style="text-align: center">Brass Ring with Riveted Outside Rim and Two Inner Bands</p> <p style="text-align: center">also known as <i>anye</i> or <i>ringgeld</i></p> <p style="text-align: center">2.38 grams | 22mm wide | ring 2mm wide, 3mm tall</p> <p style="text-align: center">Ref: Millies (1871) #210, 211; see below</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1235828[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
