| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cast tin flan bearing a multi-line Arabic legend filling the entire field in a characteristic Javanese-Islamic calligraphic style. The inscription, reading 'Sultan Ratu Pangeran al-Patah', is arranged in two or three stacked registers across the coin face, with individual letterforms boldly raised and somewhat roughly rendered as is typical of Southeast Asian cast pitis coinage. The field surface exhibits the slightly porous, granular texture inherent to the casting technique, and no border or decorative frame is present. The overall appearance is characteristic of early Demak Sultanate monetary production from the late 15th to early 16th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Demak was the first Islamic sultanate on Java, and its emergence in the late fifteenth century marked a decisive break from the Hindu-Buddhist Majapahit kingdom it helped dismantle. Ratu Pangeran al-Patah — known also as Raden Patah — is traditionally credited as Demak's founding sultan, and this pitis is among the earliest numismatic evidence of Islamic authority on the island. Tin coinage of this type circulated alongside Chinese cash and trade cloth in a monetary system that was never fully coin-dependent.
Surviving specimens are frequently porous and poorly preserved, a consequence of tin pest and the humid burial conditions common across coastal Java.
