| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central device depicts a balance scale with two hanging pans suspended from a horizontal beam, a small dot or pellet at the center pivot point, rendered in a stylized local artistic tradition. The scales are set within a plain field and surmounted by a horizontal bar with a decorative finial above. Below the scales appears the Arabic word عادل (meaning 'Just'), serving as the primary legend on this face. The design reflects the Sultanate's Islamic values, invoking justice as a central symbol of authority. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Sultanate of Pontianak, founded in 1771 on the west coast of Borneo by the Arab-Malay Sharif Abdurrahman Alkadrie, produced indigenous coinage under a lineage that maintained a complicated balancing act between Dutch commercial interests and local sovereignty. This keping was struck under Syarif Kasim, the third sultan, during a moment of particular instability — 1811 was the year the British under Stamford Raffles seized Java and the surrounding Dutch colonial apparatus effectively collapsed, briefly reshuffling allegiances across the archipelago.
Kepings of this issue are scarce survivors; the tropical humidity of coastal Borneo is brutal on copper.
