Comments
See Robinson (2015) for variants. Yih (2011:33) remarked that this type was only recently documented. Its more common counterpart with square hole has been documented since the 19th century.
Mitchiner (2012:36) date these coins to a period between AD 1658–1710. This corresponds to the reign of Sri Susuhunan Abdurrahman (1659–1706) to Muhammad Mansyur Jayo Ing Lago (1706–1718) in the Palembang Sultanate.
Mitchiner (2012:37) and Yih (2011:33) transcribed the inscription as علامت سلطان 'alamat sultan. See Robinson (2015) for variants, but note that Robinson erroneously transcribed the inscription as alaa min sultan, mistaking مت with من.
