| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a rising sun motif with six rays projecting downward below a horizontal line and six rays extending upward above it, rendered in a schematic, archaic style characteristic of early Pyu coinage. The entire solar design is enclosed within a border of 27 pellets arranged in a circle, forming the coin's primary decorative boundary. The hammered flan is irregular, resulting in a slightly uneven field surface typical of the period. The design is executed in low relief with bold, simplified strokes. No inscriptions or legends are present on this face. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Beikthano, located in the Irrawaddy valley of present-day Myanmar, is one of the earliest identified Pyu city-states, with occupation confirmed through excavation by the Myanmar Department of Archaeology. Tin-based coinage from this region remains poorly documented in Western numismatic literature, and attribution of individual pieces to specific reigns or even centuries within the Pyu period is largely impossible given current scholarship.
What the archaeology does confirm: Beikthano was abandoned sometime around the 7th century, likely under pressure from the Pyu city of Sri Ksetra.
