| Aanvullende informatie |
Palembang's tin coinage occupied an awkward position in the late 18th-century Malay monetary world — technically indigenous issues, but shaped entirely by the demands of the Dutch VOC, which controlled the sultanate's pepper trade and had strong opinions about what circulating currency should look like. Muhammad Bahauddin reigned from 1776 to 1803, long enough to see the VOC itself collapse in 1799, though Dutch colonial authority over Palembang continued under a different administrative name.
Tin was the obvious material: South Sumatra had it in abundance, and silver was too valuable to commit to fractional coinage. The pitis denomination served the smallest transactions in the bazaar economy.
