Comments
Usually pierced, these larger denomination Ratti pieces were often used in trade across SE Asia (and can thus be found in hoards in Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia). Made of high silver purity, these pieces average 99.5% purity and can sometimes be found cut to smaller denominations.
Robinson & Shaw, 3.7 var.
