Variously attributed to Hindu state in the vicinity of Malacca strait to southern Thailand, such as Srivijaya or Kalah. The location of the Isthmian Kingdom of Kalah is disputed; some place it in the Malay peninsula and identify it as today's Kedah (for further information on the subject, see In Quest of Kalah by S. Q. Fatimi, 1960).

Coins are roughly spherical in shape and slightly elongated. Earlier gold varieties exist that, and later silver varieties seem to be based off of the gold examples. Silver varieties are debased and some are silver washed. Debased silver content ranged from 11% to 26%. Some authorities think Namo are precursors of the Thai pod-duang (bullet) coins.

The paktong 8-ratti "fahri" coins are mostly found at Narhon Srithammarat and Suratthani in southern Thailand, where a Hindu kingdom was established during the Middle Ages.
