Thailand (Siam). Bullet Money (photduang) probably King U-Tumphorn (1758-1759 AD) (3 bullets 5.52)

Item number: 3761

This silver Bullet Money (Pod Duang) is a remarkable specimen from the Ayutthaya Kingdom, likely dating to the brief reign of King U-Thumphon (1758–1759 AD). These unique, globular coins were created by bending a small silver bar and stamping it with official marks to guarantee its weight and purity. Used in Siam for centuries before the introduction of flat coinage, the "bullet" shape represents one of the most distinctive monetary traditions in Southeast Asia. Its survival through the turbulent final years of the Ayutthaya period makes it not only a medium of exchange but a tangible piece of Thai royal history.
