Beschrijving voorzijde Central circular perforation surrounded by a continuous Arabic legend arranged in a clockwise annular band within a plain raised border. The inscription, rendered in a somewhat barbarous or provincial hand characteristic of cast tin pitis coinage, fills the entire annular field between the central hole and the rim. The lettering is bold and slightly irregular in execution, reflecting the crude casting technique typical of this issue. No additional decorative devices or secondary legends are present in the field.

Aanvullende informatie

Palembang's tin pitis circulated within one of Southeast Asia's most strategically positioned sultanates — a pepper and tin entrepôt on the Musi River in southern Sumatra whose rulers spent much of the 18th century navigating pressure from both the Dutch VOC and the Javanese kingdom of Mataram. The VOC had extracted a monopoly treaty from Palembang in 1642, yet local coinage continued to be struck and used in internal trade largely outside Dutch commercial control.

Tin was not chosen for convenience alone — Palembang sat close to the Bangka and Belitung tin-bearing islands, making the metal both locally abundant and politically meaningful as a coinage material the sultanate could supply independently.
