| 正面描述 | Broad, flat, irregularly shaped flan of high-purity silver with a lightly convex surface. The field is largely plain and featureless, exhibiting the characteristic flat-hammered appearance of early Mon coinage, with minimal visible device due to the extremely small module and weight of this fractional denomination. Surface shows ancient patination and minor die-contact marks consistent with hand-struck production. |

Thaton was among the earliest Indianized kingdoms of Lower Burma, its Mon-speaking rulers adopting Hindu-Buddhist cosmological frameworks that shaped coinage long before Pagan consolidated the region. These diminutive silver pieces — sometimes called "mi-chen" in Mon numismatic literature — circulated during a period when Thaton controlled key overland and maritime trade routes connecting the Bay of Bengal to the interior. The kingdom fell to Anawrahta of Pagan around 1057, after which Mon coinage traditions were largely absorbed or suppressed.
