| Obverse description | Octagonal hammered tin flan bearing a crudely struck Arabic inscription in the central field, arranged in two lines separated by a horizontal dividing bar. The legend is rendered in a simplified, angular script characteristic of Malay tin coinage, with individual characters showing pronounced wear and surface corrosion typical of cast-and-hammered pitis. The flat, unbordered field exhibits an irregular, pitted surface consistent with the low-relief hammered technique employed in Malay peninsula workshops. |
