THAI KINGDOMS: Nan, LOT of 4 debased AR tok (ca. 17th century), Krisadaolarn & Mihailovs-B01, weighing 78.16g, 67.84g, 66.57g, and 53.48g and with vibrant colors; retail value $250, lot of 4 pieces. The bright orange color is traditionally attributed to the supposed mixing of the silver alloy with egg yolk and chicken blood. Krisadaolarn & Mihailovs, among many specialists, challenge this proposition and believe it was instead achieved by applying gold leaf to the obverse after production.
