| Additional information |
Kyaikto, a Mon-region settlement in lower Burma, operated within a network of early Indic-influenced polities whose monetary conventions derived more from trade weight standards than from any centralized issuing authority. Gold pieces of this type circulated alongside Indian punch-marked coinage and reflect the cross-Bay-of-Bengal commercial traffic that defined the region's economy in the early centuries CE.
Weight fidelity mattered more than mint consistency here — 9.71 g aligns closely with fractional ratti-based standards used across early Southeast Asian and South Asian mercantile zones.
