COIN COLLECTION OF TWELVE 1659-1823AD PALEMBANG SULTANATE OF INDONESIA PITI COINS

The Sultanate Of Palembang Darussalam Was A Sultanate In Indonesia Whose Capital Was The City Of Palembang In The Southern Part Of The Indonesian Island Of Sumatra.

Coin Only Has A Design On One Side (Like Most Pre Qing Era Chinese Cash Coins). The Currency Consisted Of Low Denomination Tin Alloy Coins Which Were Mostly Traded In Bulk. Due To The Lack Of A Centralized Mint, Pitis Often Had Inconsistent Manufacture And Size And Weight Was Very Erratic.
Pitis Were First Issued By The Palembang Sultanate From The Year 1659 Under The Reign Of Sultan Abdulrrahman Khaifatul Mukminin Sayidul Imam Until The Sultanate Was Dissolved By The Dutch In 1823 And The Territory Was Fully Integrated Into The Dutch East Indies.

Coins Were Generally Made With Only One Side Having A Design. They Were Usually Made Under Government Contract By The Local Chinese Who Cast Them In The Same Way As Chinese Cash Coins Were Made.
