| Obverse description | Cast tin uniface piece bearing a three-line Arabic legend centrally positioned within the field. The inscription reads 'خلفه سلطان شاه' (Khalifah Sultan Shah), rendered in a somewhat irregular Jawi-influenced Arabic script characteristic of Malay Peninsula tin coinage of the late eighteenth to early nineteenth century. The surfaces display the typical porous, granular texture inherent to cast tin production, with no border or decorative framing elements surrounding the legend. The overall fabric is crude but legible, consistent with provincial Johor mint practice of the period. |
