| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field filled with multiple lines of Arakanese (Mon-Burmese) script characters arranged in a dense, roughly circular pattern across the flan. The inscriptions, rendered in a cursive style typical of seventeenth-century Arakan coinage, record the royal titulature and regnal information of the issuing king. The entire design is enclosed within a plain inner circle, beyond which a bold outer border of raised pellets runs continuously around the coin's circumference, characteristic of Arakanese tankah coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Arakan's silver tankah coinage of the mid-seventeenth century was produced during a period when the kingdom, based at Mrauk-U, controlled a stretch of the Bay of Bengal coast that made it one of the more commercially active polities in mainland Southeast Asia. The Bengali influence on Arakan's monetary tradition was direct — the tankah form itself derives from the Bengal Sultanate coinage that preceded Mughal standardization in the region.
Thado was among the shorter-reigning kings of the Mrauk-U dynasty, ascending during a succession crisis that followed the death of Sanda Thudhamma in 1684 — though dating for this reign remains contested among scholars working from Burmese and Portuguese colonial sources.
