| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized bust of a lion facing right is rendered within a square incuse punch at the center of the reverse field. The design is deeply recessed and schematically executed, displaying the characteristic punch-mark technique associated with early Indonesian coinage. The surrounding field is heavily textured from the hammering process, and the beveled serrated edge — mirroring the obverse — is clearly visible. No inscriptions or additional devices accompany the central punch. The overall composition reflects the abstracted artistic vocabulary of the Melayu Kingdom monetary tradition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Melayu Kingdom, centered on Sumatra and at times subordinate to Srivijaya before asserting independence in the thirteenth century, produced copper coinage that circulated alongside imported Chinese cash and locally cast tin pieces. The beveled and serrated edge treatment on this type is a deliberate minting characteristic, not wear — its precise function remains debated, though similar edge treatments on Southeast Asian issues are generally associated with authentication against clipping or forgery in high-turnover market trade.
