Interesting fact

The Mon Kingdoms were a group of monarchies that ruled over the region of Mon State in Myanmar (Burma) from the 14th to the 18th century. The Mon people were known for their advanced civilization, and their coinage system was an important aspect of their economy. The Standard circulation coin 1 Unit (1-100) from Kyaikto region (Mon Kingdoms) made of Gold weighing 9.71 g is a rare and valuable artifact that provides insight into the economic and cultural practices of the Mon people during that time. It is an interesting fact that the Mon Kingdoms were one of the earliest societies to use coins as a medium of exchange, and their coins were used widely in trade and commerce throughout the region.
