Obverse description A spurred cockerel depicted in profile facing right, rendered in low relief within a beaded border. An Arabic inscription appears in the upper field above the cockerel, reading 'Tanah Melayu' (Land of Malay). The design is characteristic of the informal keping coinage tradition of the Malay Peninsula, with a rustic stylistic quality typical of locally produced emergency issues.
