Descrizione del rovescio	Central field bearing a large, raised cross motif with four broad, curvilinear arms radiating from a central point, rendered in a more fluid and slightly asymmetric manner compared to the obverse. The arms of the cross display irregular, lobate outlines suggestive of a stylized floral or trefoil termination at each end, occupying the majority of the flan. The surface is characteristically rough and porous, reflecting the cast production method typical of early Malay tin coinage. No inscriptions or subsidiary devices are present in the field or around the rim.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Tin coinage on the Malay peninsula developed largely outside formal state minting — many issues were produced by Chinese merchant syndicates and individual kangchu settlement operators who needed small-denomination currency for the gambier and pepper plantation economy. Authentication of specific issues remains genuinely difficult, as the same basic types were struck across multiple Straits settlements with no meaningful centralized oversight.
