| Additional information |
The Khmer Empire operated without a formal minted coinage for most of its history — the economy ran largely on barter, rice, cloth, and Chinese cash coins imported through trade. These small tin-lead pieces occupy an uncertain position in the scholarship: Mitchiner catalogued them, but their precise function, whether as low-denomination exchange, temple offerings, or merchant weights, remains genuinely unresolved. The absence of a central hole distinguishes them from the Chinese-influenced holed types circulating simultaneously in the region.
