No devices, legends, or inscriptions are present; the reverse is entirely blank, consistent with the primitive cast technology employed for this issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Penang — ceded to the British East India Company by the Sultan of Kedah in 1786 — required a local copper-substitute coinage almost immediately, as imported specie drained out as fast as it arrived. Tin, abundant in the Malay Peninsula, was the obvious solution. These large-format tin pieces were struck in London and shipped out, a logistical reality that introduced significant lag between authorization and circulation.
The 1805 issue falls within the earliest phase of Prince of Wales Island coinage before the presidency's monetary arrangements were absorbed into the broader Straits Settlements framework decades later.
