| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by a three-line Arabic legend giving the sultan's name and epithet, rendered in a bold, somewhat stylized hand characteristic of Acehnese hammered gold coinage. The inscription reads 'Ali bin Munawar Shah the pious' and fills the flan in a dense, raised script. The legend is enclosed within a beaded circle that follows the irregular circumference of the coin. The relief is high and uneven, reflecting the hand-struck nature of the issue. The flat, granular field surrounding the inscription shows the typical texture of a worked gold flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ali ibn Munawar Shah ruled Aceh for roughly three years before being deposed — one of several sultans whose reigns were cut short by the aggressive court politics that characterized Aceh in the late sixteenth century. The sultanate was at this point a significant pepper-trade power, and gold coinage denominated in kupang served commercial exchange with Indian, Arab, and Portuguese merchants operating across the Malacca Strait. The relatively low fineness compared to earlier Acehnese gold issues may reflect pragmatic economics rather than debasement policy — sustaining mint output under a reign too brief to stabilize revenue.
