I have done a Google Images search: "coins of Pyu kingdoms" but didn't find any images of coins that seem to relate to the pictured coin. The profile head image looks to be more related in culturally to native coins that may have originated in South India and may be contemporary to Pyu Kindom city states coinages. My guess is that the coin pictured is not of Pyu Kingdom origin, but Indian in origin, and found it's way to Burma (Myanmar) in trade. Report this Post to the Staff

Trekmyanmar New Member Myanmar 0 Posts	Posted 11/25/2019 06:21 am This coin was one of a hundred or so which was found in a clay pot buried in the ground. Coins of the Pyu era are found in a similar manner. I am sure that it was not minted in Myanmar (Burma) and it most likely came into the country and was traded for whatever. I have gone through many coin books plus I have asked many people about this coin and today nothing concrete has turned up. the country was certainly visited by many traders as beads from Africa can be found plus coins from the Middle East plus of course Trade dollars from several countries during the more recent history.

When I crop, enlarge, and enhance your pics, they become a bit pixelated: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
