| Beschrijving voorzijde | A lion passant to right occupies the central field, rendered in a stylized, archaic manner characteristic of early Southeast Asian coinage. The figure displays a maned head, raised forepaw, and curling tail, all in low relief on an otherwise plain, slightly irregular flan. No legend or border ornament accompanies the device. The casting surface shows natural granularity consistent with traditional tin-casting techniques of the Malay peninsula. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tin coinage on the Malay Peninsula predates European contact by centuries, with local sultanates and Chinese merchant communities both producing cast and struck tin pieces for small daily transactions. The abundance of Malayan tin — the region would eventually supply the bulk of the world's production — made the metal a logical monetary choice where silver was scarce and trade was intensely localized.
