500 _aThe small, uninscribed gold piece, shaped like a ring about half an inch in diameter, was one of the earliest forms of currency in the Philippines. It was used in barter around the 8th-14th centuries. Used in barter and similar to a penny in its circular form, this was known as a penniform gold barter ring. The pieces shown here vary in size and thickness; some are hollow, others solid,and a few mere gold foils. Some of them may have been used as earrings. The bigger rings were recovered in Cebu and Leyte, the rest in Laguna and Rizal,
