Set of Six Late 18th-19thC Solid Silver [Pod Duang Money] Buttons, Never seen a unique set like this before. Original 19thC Pod Duang or Bullet money made into what must be waistcoat buttons. Each one has two stamp marks, a Krut or Garuda, the vehicle of Vishnu and a Chakra mark. They come in a case which i was told they fitted they do not! Still lovey items for the man who has it all.
Pod Duang was made from a piece of a small silver ingot with weights varying considerably according to size. This type of money was unique, using silver manually formed into eliptical bars with both ends pressed inwards and hammered into shape resembling a Duang or a worm called “Ngoen Klom” or “Ngoen Pod Duang” or “Bullet Money”.
