| Beschrijving voorzijde | The entire field is covered by an elaborate stylised floral arabesque motif, rendered in high relief, comprising scrolling petals and foliate forms radiating concentrically from a central boss pierced with a small hole. The design fills the flan to the periphery, with the outermost zone delimited by a beaded border of closely spaced dots. No legends or inscriptions appear on this face; the decorative vocabulary reflects traditional Malay-Islamic ornamental style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The pitis was Brunei's primary small-change currency for over two centuries, cast rather than struck — a production method inherited from Chinese cash coin traditions and common across maritime Southeast Asia. The tin-lead alloy was locally sourced, Brunei's interior having accessible tin deposits that made this a genuinely domestic coinage rather than one dependent on imported metal. Dozens of die varieties exist across the 250-year span, many attributable only broadly to sultanate reigns, and attribution remains contested among specialists.
