背面描述	The reverse is dominated by the srivatsa, an ancient Indic auspicious symbol associated with good fortune and prosperity, rendered in the characteristic curvilinear style of Pyu coinage. At the center of the srivatsa device is a sankha, or conch shell, itself a sacred symbol of auspiciousness in Buddhist and Hindu iconographic traditions. The composition is centrally placed within the irregular round flan, with the devices occupying the majority of the reverse field. The overall treatment reflects the strong Indic cultural and religious influences prevalent in the Pyu city-states during the 5th to 7th centuries CE.

附加信息	Śrīkṣetra, the Pyu city-state near modern Pyay in central Burma, produced coinage well before most mainland Southeast Asian polities had developed monetary systems at all. The 96 ratti weight standard — ratti being the seed of Abrus precatorius, used across South and Southeast Asia as a unit of mass — ties this issue directly to Indian metrology, almost certainly arriving via Bay of Bengal trade networks rather than overland routes. The extreme silver fineness is consistent across excavated Pyu hoards, suggesting tight control over metal sourcing that outlasted the city itself.
