Watch List notes:

JAVA: LOT of 19 odd & curious so-called 'cannonball' money, 1075g (1), 550g (1), 170g (3), 100g (3), 80g (5), 40g (3) 5g (3), retail value $200, lot of 19 items, ex Hans Mondorf Collection. Formerly misidentified as money items, these are individually hand-made, acid-etched iron amulets, ca. 1950-1980s, from Surabaya, East Java. Joseph Cribb, in Magic Coins of Java, Bali and the Malay Peninsula, pp.68-69, tells how an enterprising man created the hybrid Hindu/Islamic designs, successfully promoted them as powerful amulets, and built a family business around their manufacture. Most are roughly rounded with crude pseudo-Arabic script, thumbprint designs, and (on larger sizes) dragons.

Estimate: 100-150 USD
