1 Pitis - Muhammad II

正面描述	Arabic legend arranged around a central square perforation, reading clockwise from the base. The two-word inscription occupies the four quadrants of the field immediately surrounding the square hole, with the characters raised in relief against a flat ground. A raised circular border frames the coin, and the overall design is characteristic of cast Malay tin pitis coinage of the early nineteenth century.

附加信息	Kelantan's tin pitis coinage occupied a peculiar economic niche — too low in value for significant trade, yet essential for daily market transactions in a state where small change was perpetually scarce. Muhammad II ruled Kelantan from 1837 until his death in 1886, an unusually long reign that saw the sultanate navigate increasing pressure from both Siamese suzerainty to the north and British commercial interests pushing up from the south. Tin was the obvious coinage metal given Kelantan's access to the material, though the alloy composition varied enough between issues that contemporary merchants sometimes had cause to dispute individual pieces.
