| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field occupied by a two-line Arabic legend in raised relief, the script rendered in a characteristically compact and somewhat crude hammered style typical of early Southeast Asian Islamic coinage. The entire inscription is contained within a raised beaded border that follows the irregular round flan. The lettering reads 'Muhammad Malik al-Tahir', identifying the ruling sultan by name and honorific epithet. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samudra-Pasai, on the northern tip of Sumatra, is broadly recognized as the first Islamic sultanate in Southeast Asia, and coins attributed to Muhammad Malik al-Salih and his successors represent the earliest indigenous Islamic gold coinage of the archipelago. Ibn Battuta visited the sultanate in 1345 and recorded a thriving pepper trade conducted in small gold currency — almost certainly pieces of this type. The kupang denomination circulated widely enough to influence later Malay monetary conventions across the peninsula.
