| Obverse description | The entire field is occupied by a multi-line Arabic legend in Jawi calligraphic script, identifying the ruling sultan Ala'uddin. The inscription is executed in relief against an unadorned, irregular field typical of hammered tin coinage from the Kedah Sultanate. The lettering is bold and cursive in style, occupying the full diameter of the flan. Small pellet or dot decorative elements appear in the margins of the field. The coin shows characteristic surface oxidation and residual silvering consistent with silver-plated tin fabric. |
