The Penniform gold barter ring

This was first discovered by Dr. Gilbert Perex. It is a small, uninscribed gold piece, shaped as a ring. It was one of the earliest currencies used in the Philippines. It was used in barter in the 8th to 14th century. They vary in sizes. Some were even assumed to be used as earrings. Some of the bigger rings have been recovered from Leyte and Cebu. Others were found in Rizal and Laguna.
