Interesting fact

The Kingdom of Hamsavati, also known as the Mon Kingdoms, was a medieval kingdom that existed in what is now Myanmar (Burma) from the 14th to the 18th century. The kingdom was known for its rich culture, art, and architecture, and its coins were an important part of its economy. The 1 Unit coin made of silver and weighing 10.01g was likely used for everyday transactions and was a symbol of the kingdom's prosperity and trade.
