Comment
Bhadrapitha/Srivatsa series of Ancient Pyu (Burma)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Sri Ksetra Kingdom, which was a powerful and influential empire in Southeast Asia during the 1st century CE. The coin's small weight of 0.10 grams suggests that it was likely used for small transactions and everyday purchases, and its silver content would have made it a valuable and durable form of currency. Additionally, the fact that it was standardized to a specific weight and denomination (1/100 unit) speaks to the kingdom's advanced economic and monetary systems.
