1 Unit Sudhammapura

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.
