An ancient kingdom located around the Mekong delta of South Vietnam and Southern Indo-China which is now part of Thailand, Cambodia and South Vietnam and was founded by Kaundiya I around the 1st. century.   Look at the image of a bull which is sacred to the Hindus and Buddists alike.  The first coin was bought from a Thai seller on e-bay while the second and third coins were bought from an old Laosian woman for 8 USD each during my recent visit there.
