LIGOR: tin ¼ bia (28.59g), CD1888, Pridmore-227, lu k'un t'ung yüan (Money of Lakhon [Ligor]), rats at upper right & lower left, hé (harmony) chopmark at lower right, uncertain character countermarked at upper left within rectangle // ho li (peace and profit), phoenix above & dragon below, EF, R. The Chinese inscription on the obverse refers to the city of Liu K'un (Liukun), a city and province in the Thai peninsula. This city is also called Ligor, Ligur or Lachon. The Thai name is Muang Lakhon, also known as Lakhon si Thamarat. See Spink's Numismatic Circular March 1974.Value is 1/4 bia with 10 bia equal to 1 dollar, thus 40 of these large coins were worth one dollar. The rat is symbolic of the Year of the Rat, making it very likely this was cast in 1888.
