A coin, this unit was part of a traditional Javanese weight system, equivalent to approximately 2.4 grams of gold and often used in high-value trade and temple offerings. The coin is small, round, and features embossed or stamped motifs, possibly stylized scripts or religious markings-typical of early Southeast Asian gold currencies, often linked to maritime trade routes across the archipelago and Indian Ocean. Estimated Era: 13th-15th century (Majapahit/early Islamic period). Found by metal detector in Java. This type of gold currency has historical parallels to Piloncitos from the Philippines and early gold dust coinage used in the Srivijaya and Majapahit empires.
Highly collectible and extremely rare, especially in this condition and with clear stamping.
