Comment
Mahlo-11.2Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is one of the few silver coins issued by the Pyu city-states, which were a group of ancient cities located in what is now Myanmar (Burma). The Pyu city-states were known for their advanced urban civilization and their use of coins as a medium of exchange, and this coin is a rare example of their currency.
