AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Indonesia, Java Anonymous Early Type. Gold Kupang 800-1300
6mm, 0.61 grams.
From Numista:
Gold coinage used in the Malay archipelago between the ninth to thirteenth centuries. Presumably first developed in Java during the Śailendra period before spreading to various locations such as Sumatra and Malay Peninsula. Occasionally referred as piloncito due to similarities with early gold currencies used in the Philippines. Often inaccurately referred as Majapahit coin, even though common use of this coin predates the founding of Majapahit empire in 1293 AD. By the fourteenth century, cash transactions in Majapahit had actually transitioned to Chinese cash coins (Wicks 1986: 44-47, 50-55)
Seller's Story
