| Obverse description | Central field occupied by a four-line Arabic legend reading 'Bandar Aceh Dar al-Salam' (Port of Aceh, Abode of Peace), rendered in boldly raised script on a horizontally lined background. The inscription is contained within a plain inner area and enclosed by a beaded border running along the coin's irregular periphery. The casting is characteristic of Acehnese tin coinage, with letters displaying varying relief. The overall design is simple and functional, reflecting the local Islamic minting tradition of the Sultanate. |
