| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bearing a bold angular srivatsa symbol — a stylized hourglass or double-triangle motif rendered in geometric, rectilinear form with four raised pellets marking its cardinal points — executed in high relief. To the left of the srivatsa appears a swastika, an ancient auspicious symbol, rendered in an angular, abbreviated style with associated pellets. To the right stands a bhadrapitha (sacred throne or altar), depicted as a curved base surmounted by a raised platform. Two undulating lines flank the central group on either side, possibly representing flame or water motifs. The reverse is entirely anepigraphic, consistent with the devotional and symbolic character of Mon coinage of the late 8th to early 9th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Syriam — known in Burmese as Thanlyin — served as the principal maritime trading port of Lower Burma during this period, and its coinage reflects the monetization demands of a busy riverine entrepôt rather than a consolidated dynastic ambition. The silver unit sits within a loose chronological bracket because no firm regnal sequence has been established for this polity to the satisfaction of modern scholarship.
Attribution to Syriam specifically, rather than to the broader Mon cultural sphere, remains contested among specialists in early Southeast Asian numismatics.
