	Burma, Pyu era lead coin, insect design, 800 ad EF These coins were used in the area of Burma and North Thailand when the Post-Funan era left a power vaccuum that spurred several power areas in the SE Asian area. This lead money is 2.3 cm wide, 1-2 mm thick and weighs 8 grams, consistent with the coins of the era. However, this design is not one in my book.

	This is certainly an unusual piece. It comes from the Rakhine(Arakan) state in the west of Burma (Myanmar). I can't date it as i haven't seen it before and have been unable to find it documented - such is the nature of Burmese numismatics, there are many coins that are unrecorded. It really is a beautiful piece. The design on the coin remains consistent with the Chandras dynasty in that the obverse shows a humped bull with garland (facing left) and an inscription above the bull - probably the name of the king at the time. There is a circle and a ring of dots around this image. The reverse shows a Srivatsa (Temple of Sri - the fertility goddess) often found on Rakhine and Pyu coins. Within the Srivatsa is a linga.
