| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field occupied by a srivatsa symbol, a sacred auspicious motif of Mon-Buddhist iconography, with an ankusha (elephant goad) depicted within its interior. Two pellets are placed below the primary device. No celestial symbols — such as sun, moon, or star — are present in the field, distinguishing this issue from related types. The design is executed in typical hammered relief characteristic of 5th-century Hamsavati coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Hamsavati — the Mon kingdom centered at Pegu in lower Burma — produced silver coinage during this period using iconographic and metrical conventions that show clear Indian influence, likely transmitted through trade networks rather than direct political contact. The "rising sun and srivatsa" type to which this unit belongs circulated across a zone stretching from the Irrawaddy delta well into the Gulf of Thailand littoral.
Attribution to Hamsavati specifically remains contested among specialists; some argue these pieces predate the kingdom's consolidation and should be assigned more broadly to Mon-speaking polities of the region.
