Le May, Reginald, Siamese Coins and Tokens: An Anthology, originally published by The Siam Society, Bangkok, 1932. Reprinted in Siamese Coins and Tokens as an anthology in three parts, Andrew Publishing Company, London, 1977, 389 pages, hardcover. The first comprehensive study of bullet coinage of Thailand, both Ayuthian and Bangkok. Still the most useful primary reference on the series. Includes blocks with line drawings of the different marks found on the coins. There are mediocre photos of many of the bullets and a few other primitive type coins. The greatest drawback is that there is not a system of assigning catalogue numbers.

This reprint consists of LeMay The Coinage of Siam, the pioneering and still very useful work on bullet money, etc., and Guehler's supplements (4 articles from Siam Society Journal) on bullets, Kneedler The Coins of North Siam the basic work for Tok, Lat, C'ieng etc., and Ramsden Siamese Porcelain and Other Tokens.
