| Additional information |
Abdul Jalil Shah III ruled Johor during one of its most turbulent periods — the sultanate was in near-constant conflict with the Dutch, Portuguese remnants at Melaka, and internal succession struggles throughout his reign. Tin coinage of this type was produced locally and circulated alongside trade currencies from multiple competing powers in the Strait of Melaka region. Johor's tin deposits, concentrated in the peninsula's interior, made the metal a practical and politically independent choice for small-denomination exchange.
