Beschrijving voorzijde Five-petalled lotus rosette in high relief, each petal rendered with scrolling foliate detail and radiating from a central circular perforation. The petals are separated by incuse curvilinear intervals, with additional decorative elements including small pellets and crescent-shaped accents visible within the interstices. The overall composition is symmetrically arranged in a stylised floral pattern characteristic of Khmer artistic convention. No inscriptions or legends are present on this face.

Beschrijving keerzijde Five-petalled lotus rosette in relief, more crisply defined than the obverse, with each petal displaying finely incised teardrop and foliate motifs radiating outward from the central circular perforation. A raised ring encircles the hole, from which five deeply modelled petals extend to meet the scalloped outer edge of the flan. The design exhibits a confident, symmetrical floral composition consistent with Khmer decorative metalwork of the Angkor period. No legends or inscriptions are present.

Aanvullende informatie

The holed tin-lead coinage of the Khmer Empire remains poorly documented compared to the dynasty's architectural output, and attribution of individual pieces to specific reigns within the 802–1431 span is rarely possible with confidence. These were functional exchange tokens operating within a commodity-money economy where rice, cloth, and silver also served transactional roles — the coinage never achieved the monetary dominance seen in contemporaneous Chinese or Indian systems.

The Mitchiner NI#2655/57 reference places this among a loose grouping rather than a precisely dated emission, reflecting how little die study has been applied to the series.
