allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 02/15/2015 3:54 pm I purchased a clay coin that the seller identified as potentially as being a prakab clay coin from the Kingdom of Ayutthaya. That would be around 1733-58 according to seller. Seller was basing their attribution off of Mitchiner Non-Islamic # 2867, Coins in Thailand p.38-39, which I don't have. It appears to have been made by bringing two molds together to form the whole. You can see some mark running around the center that seems to be of a different density. It is about 1 1/4 inch in diameter. There are several cracks in the clay. In hand it doesn't look that old to me. I am thinking it is probably some sort of gambling counter or token, as I have read they were not just made out of porcelain but many different metals, glass, etc. Has anyone seen something like this before?

allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 2:37 pm Does anyone have Mitchiner Non-Islamic? I think I'll have to buy it anyway someday so it might as well be sooner. Report this Post to the Staff

It was given to me by Mitchiner himself in Colorado Springs back when trees were little. Edited by Jim Delaney 02/22/2015 07:41 am Report this Post to the Staff
