1 Pitis - Sultan Ratu Pangeran al-Patah

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.
