| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination expressed in Jawi script occupies the central field, reading 'Dua Keping' (Two Kepings), surmounted by the Arabic numeral ٢ at the top of the oval flan. The field is surrounded by a dense starburst of projecting rays radiating outward to the scalloped border. Below the central inscription, the numeral ١٢٠٠ appears flanked by lozenge ornaments, denoting the mintage quantity. A Jawi legend runs along the lower peripheral margin within the rays. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1786 keping patterns were produced in Birmingham as part of a broader effort by the Company to introduce a standardized copper coinage for the Straits Settlements, where a chaotic mix of local tin coins, Dutch issues, and Chinese cash had made small-denomination commerce deeply unreliable. Matthew Boulton's Soho Mint was involved in early discussions, though production of the eventual circulating series would not materialize until years later.
Pattern status means this piece almost certainly never reached the Malay Peninsula at all.
