Collection of 12 pieces of silver primitive money from southeast Asia (1200s to 1800s), consisting of: one "hang money" ingot, 377 grams; one "canoe money" ingot, 26 grams; one "leech money" ingot, 76.4 grams; two "tiger tongue" ingots, 122 and 94 grams; one "sycee" ingot, 65 grams; three "pig mouth money" ingots, 64-65 grams each; one "packsaddle" or "tamlung" money, 62 grams; and two "bullet money" pieces, 14.5 and 4 grams. Fascinating lot with a wide variety of shapes and sizes, all nicely toned and only the "pig mouth money" with encrustation (orange), great for an exhibit but also a good wholesale opportunity for the knowledgeable specialist.
