| Beschrijving voorzijde | Centrally placed lotus wheel (Dhammachakka) with twelve radiating spokes emanating from a raised central boss, the hub encircled by a plain inner ring. The spokes divide the field into twelve equal segments, all contained within a plain raised border. The design is boldly struck in high relief, consistent with the Buddhist iconographic tradition of the Mon Kingdom of Sudhammapura. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
