1 Pitis - Cap Sultan Jambi

The Sultanate of Jambi, situated along the Batanghari River in Sumatra, issued tin pitis as a local fractional currency operating largely outside the Dutch VOC trade networks that dominated coastal commerce. Tin from the region was abundant enough that these coins were effectively struck from locally sourced material, giving the currency an unusual degree of monetary self-sufficiency for a Sumatran polity of this size.

The HCM reference spanning numbers 158–172 indicates a type series with considerable die variation across issues — collectors frequently encounter differences in the Arabic script rendering and flan quality that place attribution closer to an art than a science.
