| Obverse description | Stylized Arabic-script legend occupying the entire field, cast in low relief on a plain flan. The inscription reads 'Bilad Palembang' (City of Palembang) in a cursive, somewhat crudely rendered calligraphic style characteristic of Southeast Asian tin pitis coinage. The lettering is arranged in multiple lines across the field, with individual characters showing the irregular definition typical of cast tin production. The overall execution is bold but unsophisticated, reflecting provincial workshop practice. No border, decorative elements, or additional devices are present. |
