Comment
Boat shaped coin from Kingdom of Lan Xang (Lanchang)Different variants existed:
HOY: money combined silver and bronze and was shaped into bar-shaped ingots. Resembling a Chala boat, its front surface was bumpy and displayed an elephant, flowers, or a naga; the reverse side was plain. Denominations varied according to size; its value was based on the silver’s weight and purity.
LAD HOY: money was a smaller version of Hoy money but both ends were tapered and it was unmarked.
LAD: money was made of bronze or brass and came in a variety of sizes. Its boat-like shape gave it the name of Boat cash. Lad money came in two types: a silver-coated coin with one to four marks on the front, and a bronze or brass coin that lacked markings. This second type was notable for being rather roughly made. With no production controls, the public moulded their own bronze and brass into these coins.
HANG and TU: money, the bar-shaped coinage produced in the Annam kingdom of Vietnam, was also used in border areas.
