| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bears a stylized srivatsa motif rendered as a schematic temple or shrine form, a common auspicious symbol in Pyu coinage. To the left of the central device appears a crude bhadrapitha (throne or pedestal symbol), and to the right an indistinct symbol, tentatively identified as a very weakly struck or degenerate swastika. The design elements are characteristic of the Pyu city-state coinage tradition, combining Buddhist and Hindu iconographic symbols in an abbreviated, conventionalized style. The flan edges are irregular, consistent with the hand-hammered production technique of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maingmaw was one of several Pyu city-states in the Irrawaddy basin that developed sophisticated urban economies well before Burman migration reshaped the region. These silver units — often called "rising sun" coins in the literature — circulated within a trade network connecting the Bay of Bengal ports to inland agricultural centers. The specific weight standard used at Maingmaw shows influence from Indian ratti-based systems, suggesting direct commercial contact with South Asian merchants rather than purely inland exchange.
