| Aversbeschreibung | Cast silver ingot of the 'tiger tongue' (lin suea) type, characteristic of Lao monetary tradition. The piece presents an elongated, flat form with irregular surfaces resulting from the casting process, exhibiting natural flow lines and surface textures inherent to cast silver. No figurative design or inscribed legend is present; the form itself constitutes the monetary denomination. |

The tamlung was a traditional Lao unit of account equal to four baht, and the 1½ tamlung denomination placed this piece at the upper end of everyday transactional silver in the Vientiane kingdom. Vientiane functioned as one of the three successor states following the fragmentation of Lan Xang after 1707 — the same fracture that produced rival kingdoms at Luang Prabang and Champasak. That political division, sustained by Siamese and Vietnamese interference across the eighteenth century, makes coherent attribution of undated bullet-form issues notoriously difficult.
The KM– reference signals this type has not been formally catalogued in Krause, leaving provenance largely dependent on collection history and assay results.
