| Reverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic legend in bold, densely arranged calligraphy, reading 'ناصر الدنيا والدين' (Helper of the World and Religion of Islam). The inscription fills the flan in a compact, roughly vertical arrangement, typical of the rudimentary engraving style of early Malaccan pitis coinage. The surface exhibits the characteristic roughness and casting porosity of hammered tin coinage, with an irregular flan edge. No border ornament or additional devices are present. The overall execution is consistent with the provincial mint practice of the mid-fifteenth century Sultanate of Malacca. |
