Watch List notes:

Collection of fifteen pieces of silver primitive money from southeast Asia (1200s to 1800s). Approx. 1190 grams total. Neat group of silver trade pieces from modern-day Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and other areas, consisting of: one "canoe money" ingot, 59 grams; one "leech money" ingot, 74 grams; three "tiger tongue" ingots, 117, 86 and 67 grams; three "sycee" ingots, 338, 114 and 37 grams; four "pig mouth money" ingots, 70, 67, 32 and 30 grams; two "bullet money" pieces, 15.2 grams each; and one "flower money" disc, 66 grams. Fascinating lot with a wide variety of shapes and sizes, all nicely toned and only the "pig mouth money" with encrustation (orange, as covered with blood and egg yolk), great for an exhibit but also a good wholesale opportunity for the knowledgeable specialist. (Estimate: $700 - 1000)
