| Aversbeschreibung | Central field features a plain cross pattée in relief, its four arms extending toward the coin's border. Flanking the vertical arm of the cross are two stylized decorative elements, likely foliate or scroll-like in form, symmetrically placed in the left and right fields. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with the hammered tin-lead calin coinage produced for Portuguese Malacca. No legend is present on this face. The surface shows the characteristic crude workmanship typical of locally struck colonial issues of the mid-sixteenth century. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse displays a bold, diagonal pattern of multiple parallel raised lines or bands crossing the field, creating a striated or hatched effect within a raised border. A prominent decorative motif at the lower portion of the field, possibly a stylized floral or fan-shaped element, anchors the composition. The overall design is geometric and abstract, consistent with the Malay-influenced artistic conventions applied to Portuguese colonial coinage struck in Malacca. The flan is irregular and the relief is shallow, reflecting the primitive hammered technique used for calin coinage. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Malacca had been a Portuguese possession since Afonso de Albuquerque seized it in 1511, but minting there was never a tidy affair. The calin alloy — a Southeast Asian tin-lead mixture already in use by local rulers before the conquest — was adopted by the Portuguese specifically because the raw material was abundant in the Malay peninsula and the population already accepted it. Striking coins in a European denomination from a local material was a deliberate accommodation to existing trade habits rather than an imposition of metropolitan standards.
Sebastião I was only three years old when he became king in 1557.
