1 Pitis - Pangeran Adipati clockwise

The Sultanate of Jambi occupied the interior river systems of eastern Sumatra, and its tin coinage reflects both the metal's local abundance and the sultanate's position within regional trade networks connecting Malay ports to Chinese and Javanese merchants. Pitis of this type circulated as the lowest transactional denomination — the currency of the market stall, not the treasury. Tin was so plentiful along Sumatra's eastern coast that these pieces were effectively expendable, which explains why surviving examples with clean surfaces are genuinely uncommon.

The "clockwise" designation in Mitchiner distinguishes this die orientation from otherwise near-identical types — a small detail that collapses any notion of standardized production at the Jambi mint.
