Comment
Mahlo-3. Mahlo reported that about 7 specimens were found in about 4 different sites in southern Myanmar.Interesting fact
The Mon Kingdoms, where this coin was issued, were known for their advanced irrigation systems and agricultural practices. In fact, the Mon people were one of the first in Southeast Asia to use hydraulic engineering to build large-scale irrigation systems, which allowed them to cultivate rice and other crops in areas that would otherwise have been unsuitable for farming. This expertise in irrigation and agriculture helped the Mon Kingdoms become a major power in the region for many centuries.
