| Obverse description | Cast tin pitis featuring a central round hole piercing the field, surrounded by a multi-line Arabic legend arranged in a circular pattern filling the entire obverse. The inscription reads "Zarb fi Bilad Palembang Dar al-Salam" (Minted at Palembang City, Abode of Peace), rendered in flowing Jawi-influenced Arabic script. The lettering encircles the central perforation, with individual words separated by decorative dot stops. The overall style is characteristic of Southeast Asian cast tin coinage, with slightly irregular surfaces and softly raised legends typical of the casting technique. The rim is plain and moderately defined. |
