| 裏面の説明 | Irregularly shaped hammered copper flan displaying a three-line Arabic legend in bold raised relief across the central field. The inscription reads 'Sultan of the land and the sea, year 1240' (AH), referencing the Hijri dating system employed on Maldivian coinage of this reign. The calligraphy is rendered in a rough, hand-engraved style consistent with locally produced Islamic hammered coinage. A horizontal dividing line separates the date from the upper portion of the legend. The reverse exhibits the same crude but characterful workmanship as the obverse, with scattered areas of copper patination across the flan. |

The larin was a wire-money denomination whose form derived from the fishhook-shaped silver larins traded across the Indian Ocean littoral for centuries. By the time Muhammad Mueenuddeen I's administration began striking copper fractional pieces in the early nineteenth century, the Maldives were nominally under Ceylonese suzerainty — itself a British protectorate arrangement — yet the sultanate retained independent coinage rights. The *kuda* designation simply means "small" in Dhivehi.
Copper issues of this type circulated primarily in local bazaar trade, with cowrie shells remaining the dominant exchange medium for smaller transactions throughout the archipelago well into the 1800s.
