World Coins - Asia & Middle-East. TENASSERIM-PEGU: Anonymous, 17th/18th century, cast large tin coin (72.34g), Robinson-70-var (cf. Plate 12:3), 64.0mm; the tò (mythical antelope) facing right, with three of his legs feathered, holding a branch in its mouth, his tail resembling a long floral branch // spokeless "wheel" in the center, Buddhist legend around in Burmese letters ("city of great happiness"), bold designs, EF, R. This example was "bent" in the casting process, having been lifted before the tin was throughly solidified; later bending would cause some surface damage, and there is no such damage here.
