    Description

    This is an old Isan Hoy money (Tiger Tongue) ingot.  It measures 150mm long, 32mm at it's widest point, and weighs 116.34 grams.  In incredibly good condition, tests as mid grade silver as it should dating from the 1600-1800s.  Features three Naga serpent marks, as well as two leaves on the back as well as a mark I've not been able to translate (Thai numismatologists I've consulted with tell me it appears to be a very old dialect which they haven't been able to decipher either).
