| Obverse description | Octagonal hammered tin flan bearing a crudely struck Arabic inscription in the central field, arranged in two lines separated by a horizontal dividing bar. The legend is rendered in a simplified, angular script characteristic of Malay tin coinage, with individual characters showing pronounced wear and surface corrosion typical of cast-and-hammered pitis. The flat, unbordered field exhibits an irregular, pitted surface consistent with the low-relief hammered technique employed in Malay peninsula workshops. |

| Reverse description | Octagonal hammered tin flan displaying a multi-line Arabic inscription occupying the central field, with the legend loosely arranged in a circular or diagonal composition. The script is rendered in a crude, provincial style typical of undated Malay pitis coinage, with letters showing considerable stylization and compression. The surface is flat and unbordered, exhibiting the characteristic irregular texture and oxidation patina common to tin alloy coins of the Malay peninsula. No mint name or date is discernible. |
