1 Pitis - Malik al-Adil

Trengganu's tin pitis coinage was produced locally using the abundant alluvial tin of the Malay Peninsula, and the sultanate maintained its own issues well into the nineteenth century despite growing pressure from British commercial interests pushing standardized currency into the region. Malik al-Adil's precise reign dates are disputed in the historical record, which makes attributing this type to a specific decade genuinely difficult. Most examples show significant porosity — a characteristic of cast tin coinage rather than a struck piece, and not a condition flaw.
