| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a stylized srivatsa symbol — a sacred auspicious motif widely employed on Pyu silver coinage — rendered in bold, flowing relief at the centre of the field. The design features interlocking curvilinear forms and scroll-like elements arranged symmetrically around a central point, with small pellets or globular devices punctuating the composition. The srivatsa is flanked by subsidiary decorative motifs in the four quadrants, consistent with standard Pyu numismatic conventions. The entire design is contained within the irregular hammered flan with no formal border. No inscription or lettering is present. |

Beikthano, one of the earliest Pyu city-states in the Irrawaddy valley, was already in decline by the time these pieces circulated — archaeological evidence suggests the city was largely abandoned by the late first millennium, possibly due to shifting trade routes or military pressure from neighboring polities. The ratti weight standard used here derives from the seed of the Abrus precatorius plant, a unit of mass common across South and Southeast Asian trade networks, which places this issue squarely within a monetized economy linked to Indian commercial practice rather than any isolated local tradition.
