| Beschrijving voorzijde | An elephant depicted in profile moving to the right, its trunk lowered as it gores a crouching lion beneath it, rendered in a bold, archaic style characteristic of early South and Southeast Asian coinage. The figures occupy the full field of the flan with no surrounding legend or border. The incuse relief is shallow but expressive, with the elephant's musculature and the lion's posture conveying a sense of dynamic confrontation. The imagery likely carries royal or cosmological symbolism associated with the power and dominion of the issuing kingdom. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Harikela was a coastal kingdom occupying the southeastern Bengal and Arakan region, and its silver coinage circulated heavily through Indian Ocean trade networks during the early medieval period. The "ratti" weight standard derives from the seed of Abrus precatorius, used as a calibration unit across South and Southeast Asia — 64 of them at approximately 0.117g each lands squarely at the weight recorded here.
Attribution to "Ancient Myanmar" remains contested; many scholars place Harikela firmly within the Bengal delta, closer to modern Bangladesh.
