Chinthe 2A, 50 tical, Burma, circa 1760
This well worn Chinthe weight stands on a square, beautiful elaborated base with a precise 9rayed star mark. The copper inlay on the back of the right side is already lost. Left side on the back a large inlay seems to be remained, but not clear to identify under the rich shining patina. Even worn, it’s a lovely collector’s piece. weight mass: height:
