| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central circular hole encircled by a raised annular ring, with a stylized four-petalled lotus motif in low relief radiating outward toward the rim. Raised pellets are interspersed between the petals at regular intervals around the field, mirroring the obverse composition. The surface displays the characteristic casting texture of Khmer tin-lead coinage, with no inscriptions or legends. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The holed tin-lead coinages of the Khmer Empire remain poorly documented compared to the dynasty's architectural record, and scholarly attribution has long depended on hoard context rather than inscriptional evidence. Mitchiner's cataloguing of this type drew heavily on excavation finds from the Angkor region, where these pieces circulated alongside Chinese cast cash that entered the kingdom through sustained trade networks along the Mekong.
The hole was functional, not decorative — stringing coins for transport and transaction counting was standard practice across mainland Southeast Asia.
