Batubara was a small Malay sultanate on Sumatra's northeast coast, operating in the shadow of larger powers — Aceh to the north, the Dutch VOC tightening its regional grip throughout the 1740s. Tin coinage of this type was cast rather than struck, a method typical of the Malay world that produced irregular flans and variable surface quality as a matter of course, not defect.

KM#3 is one of very few attributed issues for Batubara, and surviving examples rarely appear in Western auction records.
