Note:

Not listed in from Java and Sumatra in GCC, but illustrated for N. Song model, page 19. This specimen may well be a genuine Chinese issue, since it is within the wide size range for this type. It does not appear to match Vietnamese copies which are smaller. Presumably Hartill obtained this from Indonesia since he included it in his Gift as a coin from Java and Sumatra.
