Bought a couple of these as they were on offer at a really cheap price. I actually only wanted one but after seeing they were very different (and they were a bargain), I decided to get them both. (the joys of varieties)   Denomination: 1/8 tical. This is a uniface coin. Looked it up on the internet and there's just so many varieties of this particular type of coin. Maybe you have one of this funky coin? |

gxseries,
That's very interesting, I looked in the catalogue and realised I have one of those, KM7, a half fuang.
I thought it was a button and it's sitting in a button jar somewhere but unfortunately I don't know where !
How much did you pay for yours ?

I acquired one of those a few years ago, and is in fact, the only coin I have from Cambodia.  Steve  |

Pertinax, I think I paid less than 10 dollars each including shipping.
It's a billion meaning that it's a low silver content alloy but still - quite neat. I'm not too sure if these even circulated. I'm quite amazed over the varieties out there.

They are interesting coins - and I've never really seen them worn. I have a couple - almost exactly the same weight so their quality control was pretty good   |

Here are two coins I recently received. I bought both of my coins from Scott Seman's website. I thought they were a reasonable price, and I really don't know where else I'll see them offered. I had to get the lower quality coins to fit my budget. These are some tiny coins--too small to take good pictures of. The ones with dark background are from the digicam and white background are from the scanner. First is a 'Hamsa Pe' from 1600-1870. It is listed as K31a.2:  Second is a 'Hamsa (Praq) Pe' from 1870-1900, listed as K11a:  -wheatiefan |

Someone showed me a few of these over the weekend at a show, including one that was apparently an overstrike of an another piece... normal strike on one side, smooshed remants of another design on the "blank" side.
