K18 Crab Double Fuang Silver, 15m, 2.79g. Apparently unpublished, and only the second known type of Double Fuang. The weight of this Fox specimen squares with P11b, Dragon or Hypogriff, which Wicks notes at 2.7-2.8g for 2 specimens, and Cribb calls a double Fuang. Compared to K19 (P8a), the Crab Fuang, seems slightly cruder stylistically, with a large body in proportion to the appendages, and large design in relation to the flan. 
KA1 Crab 1/8 Fuang Silver, 6-7m, avg. .152g for 15 pieces, flat flan. Cribb calls it a 1/4 Fuang following Panish's weights, but Wicks' figures are more exact and closer to my own finding. Fine style, though simplified in detail due to the tiny flans. KA1a Crab 1/8 Fuang Silver, 6m, .158g, thicker flan, cruder, bolder design. A single specimen from the group, almost certainly a later issue. 
K3 Lotus Sprout 1/4 Fuang Silver, 8-9m, avg. .31g for 27 pieces, flat flan. This is what Quiroga called a snake, but it is a lotus seed with a curling root sprout, forked at the end, and (on some specimens) two bumps indicating lower forkings of the root. The spiral may be c/w or cc/w. Some specimens, possibly later, are cruder in style. Weights noted by Wicks seem to run .3-.6g suggesting a 1/2 Fuang, but without a clear denominational break. K3.1 = cc/w; K3.2 = cw; K3.1c and K3.2c = crude style examples. (which look F-VF), Each: 
K4 Crown? 1/2 Fuang Silver, 10-11m, avg. .67g for 8 pieces, flat flan. Fine style design, but what is represented is still debatable: heart, heart with flower, coconut, crown, and cocoa bean have all been suggested. Panish assigns this to Siem Reap. Please give second choice of specimen. 
K7 Hamsa Fuang Silver, 12x15m, 1.33g (with 3 specimens ranging 1.25-1.37g in ANS Museum), dished flan. Simple design of Cock (or Hamsa?) left. This is the best candidate for the coin Quiroga noted as one of three types in circulation in 1595, though it is much rarer today than the other two. It is almost certainly the prototype for the common Hamsa "Fuang" of Phase II. Panish-1b, KM-unlisted. 
K28a Garuda Fuang Silver, 15m, 1.85g, dished flan. Unpublished? Finely styled Garuda standing right, holding vine? in right hand, solid and beaded borders around. Panish notes only pieces with "snakes" in both hands or neither, and his illustrated specimen shows a fluid, snake-like object, while the Fox specimen looks more like a branch. The Fox specimen is also significantly heavier. Panish states the type was minted at Siem Reap. 
K14A Lotus Fuang Billon? 15m, 1.41g (holed), dished flan. Unpublished? Finely styled Lotus with leaves at side, floating on water, beaded border around. A different style than Panish's specimen. Perhaps lower fineness than preceding types; the flan is smooth like the billon issues. 
K17 Horse Fuang Silver or Billon, 15m, 1.14, 1.41g (holed), dished flan. Horse standing right. 
K15 Goat? Fuang AR-washed Billon, 13-24m, 1.21, 1.25g, concave flan. Variously identified as a bull, mule, tapir, or goat, standing left. 
K21 Hypogriff Fuang AR-washed Billon, 13m, 1.65g, dished flan. Standing right with head reared back and mouth open, it has also been called a Dragon, and strongly resembles the Lion depicted on Tibetan coinage only after 1909. Panish also notes a double weight piece of this type, the only double piece for the billon series. The silver wash from the Fox specimen has worn away, revealing billon. 
K22 Hypogriff Fuang AR-washed Billon, 13m, 1.45g, dished flan. Standing left. This type is not listed in Panish. 
K10 Peacock Fuang AR-washed Billon, 14-12m, 1.37g, concave flan. Beautifully detailed, fine-style bird with slanted back to right, closed beak, perfunctory dashes in front representing vines? Panish 9a 
K10A Peacock Fuang AR-washed Billon, 14m, 1.51g, flat flan. Fine-style bird with slanted back to left, open beak, holding realistic vine?, below, solid border around but mostly off flan. Panish 9d. 
K6 Hamsa Fuang Billon?, 13m, 1.70g, round, dished flan. Fine-style Hamsa left with horizontal & vertical crest elements, single beak, vine with bud & branch before, upper tail feathers: curved & branched fore feather, back feather curved with five horizontal elements behind. Recessed eye & detail in body. This is the finest, most detailed example of the Hamsa, and while it appears to be base metal or low-grade billon, it could be the prototype for the common Hamsa Fuang (K32). 
K24 Garuda Fuang AR-washed Billon, 14m, 1.24, 1.40g, dished flan. Garuda standing left, upraised arms holding snakes?; fine style 
K25 Garuda Fuang AR-washed Billon, 13.5-15m, avg. 1.32g for 8 specimens, slightly dished flan. Garuda standing left, empty arms upraised, solid and beaded borders around, uniface; fairly crude style. Relatively common, thus likely one of the latest issues of Phase I and probably even later than 1600.  | PHASE II COINAGE: c. 1600 - 1870 THAI DOMINATION |
K31a.1 Hamsa Pe Circle & Cross Variety Hamsa standing left, body squared in front and upper tail feathers fused into a forward-pointing bun with five horizontal dashes. It is merely speculation, but the cross (not a + or x) could represent Christian influence. This is the rarest of the four types (1 in ANS collection) and a premium is asked for it from Bangkok. For 12 specimens flans range 11-14m, .89-1.46g. They appear to range from base billon to pure copper, though silver wash makes it difficult to tell. Panish-1h, Wicks-iii. Billon or AR-wash examples: K31a.2 Hamsa Pe Circle & Cross Variety, Copper or very low-grade billon. EF-AU, lustre, centered ; VF-EF ; K31b.1 Hamsa Pe No Circle & Cross Variety. Hamsa same basic style, but cruder, lacking in detail. Probably a later issue, but commoner in billon than copper. Panish (1d) illustrates a broad, heavy double unit of this variety. Billon. Panish-1c, Cribb-iv crude VF-EF ; K31b.3 Hamsa Pe No Circle & Cross Variety, Copper K31b.2 Hamsa Pe No Circle & Cross Variety, copper, crude style or thin flan K31c.1 Hamsa Pe Fancy Tail Variety. Fine style variety with a bud at top of branch, and second vertical tail feather is forked. Unpublished variety. Billon or silver-wash K31c.2 Hamsa Pe Fancy Tail Variety. Copper, cruder strikes K31c.3 Hamsa Pe Thin flans with bulbous heads detached from body & cruder style. Possibly the final phase of this coinage. K31d Hamsa Pe Branch Behind Neck Variety with budded branch behind neck and variant upper tail feathers. These tail feathers resemble those on the silver Fuang. Unpublished variety. VF, holed ; blackened, but not bad-looking ; 
KA31 Hamsa 2 Pe Vine Behind Neck Variety As K31c variety above, but flan 14x15.5m, 2.70g, clearly intended as a double unit. Appears copper rather than billon, and style is crude, so probably a late issue for the series. Unpublished type. 
K32a Hamsa Fuang Circle & Three Upper Feathers: Large-flan, high-fineness example K32b Hamsa Fuang Circle & Three Upper Feathers, Small-flan, low-fineness example, P-1g, Cribb-ii, KM-32.1 K32S1 Hamsa Fuang Three examples of K32a & K32b, including large, medium, and low fineness (flan size) and different bird sizes, plus a contemporary counterfeit K32c Hamsa Fuang Two upper tail feathers with 5 vertical dashes now detached. Body is now three separate lines (simpler for die-cutter), No raised eye, 12 of 13 specimens with small-headed bird. Fineness visibly lower. Thick, round 13-14m flans, avg. 1.58g K32d Hamsa Fuang No circle before bird. Second element of crest has become upper portion of beak with vine between. Fineness visibly lower, perhaps .500-.600, flans 12-13.5m, avg. 1.77g, significantly heavier perhaps to compensate for the fineness. Variations of style include upper tail feathers three, two or partly blurred together; dashes four or five (rarely 3 or 6); and right leg entering body center, body at left leg, or left leg at center. There are no weight differences associated with these variations. Panish 1e, Cribb-i & iii, KM-31.2 K32S2) Four examples of K32d, all with different details VF-EF ; Single piece: K32d.1 Hamsa Fuang Specimens in the no-circle group which appear to be better fineness (.700-.800?) and intermediate style between b and d K32e Hamsa Fuang Crude style, Billon, perhaps .400-.500, 13m, 1.76g for 6 specimens. The bird's body is now solid and squared in front, with head thrust forward. Panish-1e, Cribb-ii An example of this variety weighing 5.63gm was found in 2006, probably intended as a 4 fuang. K32e.1 Hamsa Fuang Two small, low-weight examples suggest that this variety may indeed be the last issues of this Fuang type. 12m, avg. 1.22g KA33 Hamsa 4 Fuang Crude style, Billon, perhaps .400-.500, variety as K32e, 13m, 5.63g  | FRENCH PROTECTORATE |
