Additional information

Halin was one of the northernmost Pyu city-states, positioned along the Mu River valley in what is now the Sagaing Region of Myanmar, and its coinage circulated within a network of Theravada Buddhist polities that maintained surprisingly consistent metrology across considerable distances. The 96-ratti weight standard — roughly 9.7 grams — was shared across multiple Pyu mints, suggesting coordinated monetary practice rather than independent local convention.

The 18-spoke wheel type is among the most precisely executed of Halin's known varieties, and HCSEA distinguishes it from the 16- and 32-spoke types on die-identification grounds.
