| Additional information |
Syriam — known in Burmese as Thanlyin — served as the principal maritime trading port of Lower Burma during this period, and its coinage reflects the monetization demands of a busy riverine entrepôt rather than a consolidated dynastic ambition. The silver unit sits within a loose chronological bracket because no firm regnal sequence has been established for this polity to the satisfaction of modern scholarship.
Attribution to Syriam specifically, rather than to the broader Mon cultural sphere, remains contested among specialists in early Southeast Asian numismatics.
