| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by a bold two-line Arabic legend in Jawi script reading 'Negeri Perak' (Land of Perak), with decorative diamond-shaped ornamental stops separating the two lines. The inscription is rendered in raised relief with bold, angular lettering characteristic of early 19th-century Malay copper coinage. The entire design is contained within a uniform inner border of raised beads encircling the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Keping series was minted for the Straits Settlements under East India Company authority primarily to serve the small-denomination needs of the Malay peninsula's local market, where Spanish and Dutch colonial coinage dominated larger transactions but left a persistent gap at the lowest end of commerce. The 1836 issue was struck at the Soho Mint in Birmingham under the direction of Boulton & Watt's successors — the same facility responsible for much of the Company's Asian copper output in this period.
Surviving examples in better condition are notably scarce relative to other Keping dates, likely a consequence of heavy use in bazaar trade rather than hoarding.
