Informazioni aggiuntive	Hamsavati — the Mon kingdom centered at Pegu in lower Burma — produced silver coinage during this period using iconographic and metrical conventions that show clear Indian influence, likely transmitted through trade networks rather than direct political contact. The "rising sun and srivatsa" type to which this unit belongs circulated across a zone stretching from the Irrawaddy delta well into the Gulf of Thailand littoral. Attribution to Hamsavati specifically remains contested among specialists; some argue these pieces predate the kingdom's consolidation and should be assigned more broadly to Mon-speaking polities of the region.
