Descrizione del rovescio	Plain copper field bearing a central Jawi Arabic inscription in two registers: the numeral '٢' (2) appears at the top, followed by the word 'دو كڤڠ' (Dua Keping, meaning 'Two Kepings') in large raised characters dominating the field. The AH date '١٢٤٧' (1247) is prominently struck along the lower portion of the flan in bold Eastern Arabic numerals. A toothed or beaded border encircles the design, consistent with the obverse treatment. The bold, functional lettering reflects the emergency nature of this provincial copper issue.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Trumon was a minor pepper-producing sultanate on Sumatra's southwest coast, and these kepings were struck during a period when Dutch colonial pressure was steadily eroding the autonomy of small Acehnese vassal states in the region. The irregular weight range is not a grading artifact — it reflects genuinely inconsistent local striking conditions, with planchets hand-prepared rather than rolled and cut to specification. The sultanate had effectively ceased independent coinage by the late 1830s as Dutch commercial dominance made local currency increasingly redundant.
