The History and Coinage of South East Asia Until The Fifteenth Century by Michael Mitchiner (1998), #267.
This ‘Rising Sun’ coin is from the early Pyu kingdom of Beikthano, c. 200-600 AD. There were two main denominations, 80 rattis (9.2 to 9.5g) and 20 rattis (2.0 to 2.3g). For cataloging the obverse, your coin has six rays above the sun and six below (6/6) and 27 pellets in the border. The reverse sun (above, right) has 8 rays. This would catalog as Mitchiner (1998) #267 or Mitchiner (1978) #5246. There are minor variations of this coin from #267 to 272.
Variations of the general coin with a sun on the obverse and a temple on the reverse take up 36 pages of the catalog. There are weight variations, more dots, less dots, different positions for the symbols or different symbols on the reverse etc.
