Beschrijving keerzijde	Central field displays a prominent cross or sword motif in low relief, with a vertically oriented shaft and lateral arms, consistent with stylized sword or cross devices found on early Malay tin currency. The upper portion of the device broadens into a guard or crosspiece, suggesting a sword or kris form rather than a plain cross. The field is otherwise plain with no surrounding legend or border decoration. The die work is rough and characteristic of hand-cast production methods used in the Malay peninsula during the medieval period.

Aanvullende informatie	Tin coinage on the Malay peninsula emerged not from centralized monetary policy but from the practical demands of the tin-mining economy itself, where the metal being traded was often the same metal struck into currency. Many of these pieces were produced by local chiefs or merchant syndicates rather than any formal mint, making consistent weight standards a persistent problem across the region.
