Tiny unknown, unlisted Burmese (Myanmar) silver coin. Less than .1 gram!
Burmese coin collector said, he had purchased a small silver container full of over 500 of
these tiny silver coins. If lost individually, they would oxidize and crumb to nothing
which is probably why they are unknown. This coin is only 6 mm is diameter and so thin the
design shows through incused on the reverse like a medieval bracteate. The design has no
parallel in known Burmese coins being four lobs with a stem on top (or bottom like a four
leaf clover). Unlisted in any Burmese coin catalog that I know about. There are 1/100
units listed in Robinson and Shaw under the Pyu Kingdom 500 AD to 800 AD. These Pyu 1/100
units range from .14 to .09 grams. Color is toned silver. US $6.50 ( EUR 5,20), 4 aug 2005, ebay, neilsowards |

A coin from the Mrauk-U dynasty in Arakan (Rakhine) State in Burma. This
coin bears the inscription: 1014 Sanda Thudhamma Raza, The Lord of the Golden Palace. The
obverse and reverse bear the same inscription. 1014 refers to the start of the King, Sanda Thudhamma Raza's reign. This is BE or Buddhist Era and corresponds to the year AD1652. Interestingly, this coin was the first to refer to the king as 'Lord of the Golden Palace' as previously the kings were given the title 'Lord of the White Elephant' or 'Lord of the Red Elephant'. Sanda Thudhamma Raza ruled for 22 years AD1652-1674 and came to the throne at the age of 25, succeeding his father, Thado Min Taya. During his reign he built many pagodas and established trade links with the Dutch. After his reign, the kings enjoyed less power as the Mrauk-U dynasty began to fall into decline. His reign is considered to mark the end of the 'Golden Period' of the Mrauk-U dynasty making this coin of particular interest. Diameter : 30mm GBP 8,99 (EUR 13,22), 26-okt-05, ebay, shwenaga |

HIndu Temple Token - India / Arakan - Burma This coin was found in
Arakan state in Burma and has been described by U San Tha Aung in 'Arakanese Coins' as a
Hindu Temple token. It may originally come from India. It's an unusual piece with an
inscription on the obverse and two figures, one holding a trident, the other a bow . Both
are wearing headdresses. The reverse depicts three figures attending two further figures
on a royal couch/throne with an umbrella overhead. I'm assuming the umbella is covering an
important figure, perhaps royalty. A monkey at the base of the coin is looking up at the
royal figure. GBP 9,50 (EUR 14,02), 01-sep-05, ebay, shwenaga |

A pair of the Bhadrapitha/Srivatsa series of Ancient Pyu Silver coins.
There are three known types of Pyu coins in the Bhadrapitha/Srivatsa series. These two
come from what is referred to as the Class D series. Previously on ebay I sold a set of
three coins from the Class C. While the obverse of these coins is much the same as the
other types, the reverse differs. These coins are generally associated with the Pyu cities
of Sriketsra and Beikthano. They were produced later than other Pyu coins, probably around
the 9th century when the Pyu kingdom was in decline. Please note that i'm selling these
two coins together. As you'll see from the photos, the reverse of one needs some cleaning,
but has a well-defined obverse. The other coin has a truly excellent reverse but a not so
clear obverse. That's why i'm putting them in the same lot. Obverse - Bhadrapitha symbol. Note that the centre of the symbol takes the form of a four-petaled rosette, whereas in the Class C and D series the centre is a solid circular disc. Reverse - Simple form of a srivatsa (Temple of the fertility goddess, Sri) with an obelisk or phallus in the centre, flanked by eight small angular bead-like objects. On the left is a vajra (thunderbolt) and a wavy conch to the right. Above the srivatsa is a sun with rays and a moon. The moon is no longer visible due to holes made at the top, at a later date, that suggests the coins have been as part of a necklace. Below the srivatsa are two wavy lines, representations of water. Weight : 7g each GBP 10,00 (EUR 14,71), 21-sep-05 , ebay, shwenaga |

The conch shell was a Hindu symbol used across Southeast Asia. Reverse: Stylised Srivatsa (Temple of Sri - fertility goddess) with bhaddapitha emblem on the left and a swastika on the right.

A set of three small Pyu coins from the ancient city of Sriketsra. What
makes these so unusual is that they appear to be part of a set and are very small indeed,
only 7mm. These coins are extremely rare, especially when all three are together. They are made of silver and feature three different designs on the obverses: the conch, the wheel and what i believe to be a swastika. The conch, swastika and the wheel were originally Hindu symbols that began to be used in Buddhism. The wheel symbolises the dharmachakra, the Buddhist Law. These coins show how important Hinduism, namely the cult of Vishnu, was for the Pyu people. The reverse of each coin displays Srivatsa symbols (Temple of Sri, the fertility goddess or mother goddess) GBP 32,00 (EUR 46,36), 13-mei-06, ebay, shwenaga |

Here is a most unusual piece that appears to be a form of 'majizi' or bean
money. It is made of silver and was most probably used in the Shan states. An elephant is

piece below. The face with the elephant is 11mm while the one with the fish is 7mm. I've only found two such pieces in the last ten years and so would make a wonderful addition to any collection. GBP 23,50 (EUR 34,04), 11-mei-06, ebay, shwenaga |
