Mr Intrigued New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 07/06/2012 11:19 am Help please: does this photo help identify whether these are really (repro) ancient pre-coins from Laos as sold to me......or a set of old weights ....or both? I have shown them at different angles on the 'tray' to show their embossed markings. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 07/06/2012 10:51 pm Kingdom of Siam (now Thailand). May well have been used in Laos as the kingdom frequently included territories on both sides of the Mekong River. They are 19th century Bullet Coinage. However a set of them makes me suspicious and they may well be modern repros. I will provide a picture later of the identifying stamps. If you can identify them then I can provide further info. Is it possible to weigh them and measure them? Does the tray have any markings? Hope you can copy it and magnify. Edited by thai-vic 07/07/2012 04:32 am Report this Post to the Staff
Mr Intrigued New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 09/14/2013 11:30 am Having a few problems replying but apologies anyway for appalling delay. Thank you for the excellent marking sheet. The embossed marks look like Chakra/Bangkok Dynasty with a V for the God Vishnu. The tray has markings very similar to Rama V. It is 14.5 x2.5 cms and has a reasonably heavy cast metal weight feel to it. Attached if you can see it. Will also try again with pics of another metal piece. Bye for now.

Mr Intrigued New Member United Kingdom 5 Posts	Posted 09/14/2013 12:18 pm and here's the metal piece I bought from the same market seller. 25 x4 cms and quite heavy solid robust feel to it. Also Thai do you think rather than Lau? Money ? Report this Post to the Staff
