| Opschrift voorzijde | سلطان د العال (The correct spelling would be: سلطان العادل) (Translation: The Just Sultan) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Two lines of Arabic legend enclosed within a beaded circle, reading مالك الظاهر (The Acknowledged Ruler). The inscription is centrally placed within the field, which exhibits the characteristic rough, porous surface associated with cast tin-lead pitis coinage of Brunei. The lettering, while simply rendered, follows the conventional epigraphic style found on Bruneian sultanate issues of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The pitis was Brunei's primary small-change currency across more than two centuries of the Sultanate's commercial peak, circulating alongside Spanish and Dutch trade silver that never filtered down to everyday bazaar transactions. Tin-lead coinage of this type was cast rather than struck, a production method common across maritime Southeast Asia that accounts for the considerable variation in weight and surface quality seen across surviving specimens.
Singh's catalog remains the authoritative reference for Brunei pitis classification, though attribution within the series is complicated by the absence of consistent dating on the coins themselves — the broad 1582–1828 range reflects dynasty rather than a single issue.
