| Reverse description | The annular field surrounding the central circular perforation bears a cast Arabic inscription arranged within the available space of the ring-shaped flan. The legend reads 'بلدقدح دار الامن', translating as 'Country of Kedah, Abode of Peace', affirming the issuing authority and the sultanate's epithet. The calligraphic rendering is characteristic of Malay-Arabic script conventions of the period, with the relief details somewhat diffused by the casting process. The rough, pitted surface texture and irregular outer edge are consistent with hand-cast tin coinage of the Kedah Sultanate. |
