| 正面描述 | Round cast tin coin with a central square perforation, a characteristic feature of Southeast Asian cash coinage influenced by Chinese monetary tradition. The annular field surrounding the square hole bears a two-word Javanese script legend reading 'Pangeran Ratu' (Lord King), distributed across the four quadrants of the coin face in a style typical of Banten sultanate issues. The inscription is rendered in raised Javanese characters cast in low relief against a plain field. The overall design is simple and functional, with no additional decorative border or devices. |

Banten's tin cash coinage occupied a peculiar position in the regional economy — these pieces circulated alongside VOC-issued currency and Chinese cash imports, all competing for use in the same markets. The sultanate's decision to mint in tin rather than copper reflects both the metal's local availability through Bangka and Belitung trade networks and the chronic shortage of higher-value metals that plagued independent Indonesian polities under Dutch commercial pressure.
