Some interesting informations about the history of the Srivijaya Empire:

Interesting fact

The 1 Tin Coin ND from Malay peninsula (Malaysia) made of Tin weighing 9.51 g is an interesting coin because it is one of the few coins in the world made of tin, a relatively soft and malleable metal. This coin was produced during a time when tin was a widely used material for coinage, and its unique composition makes it stand out among other coins from the same era. Additionally, the fact that it was produced in the Malay peninsula (now Malaysia) adds to its historical and cultural significance, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Southeast Asian currency.
