| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by a highly stylized depiction of a dragon upon the sea — alternatively interpreted as the sacred hamsa bird — rendered in a schematic, linear style characteristic of Tenasserim-Pegu tin coinage. The creature's minimal head and tail are suggested by abbreviated curvilinear forms. Below the figure, twenty-seven raised dots arranged in three horizontal lines represent stylized waves. The central motif is enclosed within a raised circular border, itself surrounded by a broad flat rim adorned with a continuous row of raised pellets. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
These large tin "basket money" pieces from the Tenasserim-Pegu region circulated in one of Southeast Asia's most contested trading zones, where Burmese, Siamese, and European mercantile interests collided repeatedly across the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Tin was locally abundant — the Tenasserim coast held some of the richest deposits in mainland Asia — making it a logical monetary material when silver was scarce or hoarded during the near-continuous warfare between Toungoo and Ayutthaya.
Attribution remains genuinely difficult. "Anonymous" is the honest answer: no issuing authority has been conclusively established, and several of these types were likely produced by local merchants rather than any central mint.
