Additional information

Myaungmyo issues of this type belong to the so-called Pyu coinage tradition of early Burma, produced by city-states in the Irrawaddy basin before the consolidation of Pagan-period authority. The MIT reference places this squarely in the scholarly framework established by Mahlo's inventory of indigenous Burmese silver — a cataloguing effort that remains the primary reference precisely because so little archival or epigraphic evidence survives to anchor these pieces to specific rulers or mint events.

The 8.11g weight corresponds to a unit standard that circulated alongside Indian-influenced monetary systems without fully adopting them.
