Descrizione del rovescio	A Srivatsa symbol occupies the central field, rendered as an interlaced curvilinear device formed by looping foliate scrollwork. A crescent moon is positioned at the centre of the Srivatsa motif. The entire design is enclosed within a plain raised circular border, the flan showing characteristic hammered irregularity. The Srivatsa is a prominent auspicious emblem widely employed on Mon coinage of this period as a mark of royal and religious authority.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Thaton — known in Pali sources as Sudhammapura — was a Mon city-state in lower Burma whose trading connections stretched across the Bay of Bengal. These silver units belong to a coinage tradition scholars associate with the broader Sri Ksetra and Mon cultural sphere, where coin production served long-distance maritime commerce as much as local exchange. The specific MIT reference places this within a tightly catalogued group, though attribution to Thaton specifically rather than adjacent Mon polities remains a point of ongoing specialist debate.
