Piloncito

"Piloncitos" is a collectors' term for the bead-like gold masa coins used during the aristocratic era of the Philippines and in the early years of Spanish foreign rule, called bulawan in many Philippine languages or salapi ("coin") or ginto in Tagalog. These are pieces that formed part of various degrees of Southeast Asian gold weight such as amás or táhil. Gold coinage was used along with silver coinage in maritime Southeast Asian currency.
