[Siam] Bullet Money Silver Bracelet
[Siam] Bullet Money Silver Bracelet
A one-of-a-kind bracelet that connects seven bullet money (bullet coins)
Bullet money is a coin of Siam (now the Kingdom of Thailand) that existed from the 14th century to the beginning of the 19th century.
In this region, there is a history of using "shellfish" as money in ancient times.
In Siamese times, silver coins with a characteristic shape imitating this shell came to be made due to the mercy of the king, who said, "Killing a shellfish for money."
It is thought that it was actually used around the beginning of the 18th century.
At that time, the processing technology of silver was not high, so it is simple to make by heating and bending high-purity soft silver, giving it a rough impression.
Modern Karen silver is used for other silver parts
