This article is from a  booklet issued by the Muzium Negara Malaysia. This article says that Siamese porcelain tokens were not only used in Siam, they where also imported from Bangkok/Siam and used in Malaysia for gambling! Which means that Siamese porcelain tokens are also a part of the numismatic history  and heritage of Malaysia.

  1. Hi Dickson,
    Before this, always thought only the pees were meant for gambling.
    Never realised these tin coins were used for this purpose too.
    Very interesting article, Dickson :)
