Silver, 2.17 Grams. Small.
Sandal Wood Flower (Dok
Chan).
Sanskrit word �Vara� (glory).
EF.Srivijaya�s currency was
influenced by the silver coins of Lydia.
One of the things that I like most about old sales and auction catalogs
is the use of themes. They will carry titles such as "Property of a
Lady" or "Collection
of a European Diplomat" and I''ve always felt that added a bit depth, and
interest to an item. In that vein I could describe this
item as the "Property of an International Traveler". All of the coins
and artifacts that are marked with a stock number beginning with "IT"
belong to a gentleman who is indeed an international traveler. And his
travels have allowed him to pick up
some choice pieces from not only the United States, but from around the
world.
