Obverse description Central field occupied by a two-line Arabic inscription reading 'Kali Malik al-Adil' (The Reign of the Just Ruler), rendered in a bold, archaic Jawi-influenced script characteristic of Malay tin pitis coinage. The legend is divided horizontally across the flan, with the upper line occupying the top half and the lower line the bottom half of the coin's face. The flan is irregularly shaped and slightly uneven, consistent with the hand-cast production methods typical of 18th-century Trengganu tin coinage. The field shows a plain, unadorned background with no border or additional decorative elements.
