Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the Khmer Empire, which was a powerful and influential empire in Southeast Asia that flourished between the 9th and 15th centuries. The coin's design and materials, such as the use of tin-lead, reflect the empire's economic and cultural ties with other regions in Asia, and its use as a medium of exchange facilitated trade and commerce within the empire and beyond.
