Unknown Currency, these coins were issued likely for local trade. Similar pieces in tin are also known. Attributed to the Sri Ksetra Kingdom, which is thus far the largest of the Pyu City States discovered, the kingdom was located in what is today Central Myanmar along the Irrawady River. Predominantly a Buddhist Kingdom, it fell around 1050 and was then a part of the Pagan Kingdom (The first to unify Myanmar).
