| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cast tin flan bearing a three-line Arabic legend in the central field, reading the ruler's title and name: Sultan Ratu Pangeran al-Patah. The script, rendered in a crude but legible Jawi-influenced calligraphic style typical of early Javanese Islamic coinage, fills the field with raised characters. A plain raised rim encircles the entire design, demarcating the legend from the edge. The overall execution reflects the characteristic roughness of cast tin pitis production from the early Sultanate of Demak period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Sultanate of Demak was the first Islamic sultanate on Java, and its currency reflects the transitional monetary moment between Hindu-Buddhist trade networks and the new commercial order being established along the north Javanese coast. Tin pitis of this period circulated alongside Chinese cash coins — often interchangeably — in the port markets of the Pasisir region, where Demak's political authority was built on controlling spice trade routes rather than agrarian taxation.
Attribution to Sultan Ratu Pangeran al-Patah, the sultanate's founder, keeps this issue among the earliest dateable Islamic coinages produced on Java itself.
