| Reversbeschreibung | A sinuous naga (sacred serpent) depicted in low relief at center field, rendered as a stylized undulating form with two or three coils, consistent with the naga motif found on Srivijayan tin coinage of the medieval period. The figure occupies the central portion of the convex reverse field, which is otherwise plain and unscribed. The execution is characteristic of the informal, hand-stamped technique typical of this series, with no encircling legend or additional decorative elements present. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Srivijaya polity controlled maritime trade across the Strait of Malacca for several centuries, and its monetary culture reflected that commercial orientation — tin was locally abundant, easily cast, and widely trusted across the trading networks linking Sumatra, the Malay Peninsula, and Java. These small cast ingots circulated alongside foreign gold and silver coinages rather than replacing them, functioning as a fractional medium in port markets where exact weight in metal mattered more than issuing authority.
Attribution to Srivijaya specifically remains contested among scholars, as the political geography of Sumatra between 1000 and 1300 was fluid and overlapping.
