Comments
Mitchiner & Yih (2013:33-36) date these coins to a period between AD 1710–1778. This corresponds to the reign of Muhammad Mansyur Jayo Ing Lago (1706–1718) to Muhammad Bahauddin (1776–1803) in the Palembang Sultanate. This type is among the most common Palembang coin to be found but also one with the most inconsistent quality, particularly in the legibility of their inscription. Counterfeit coins and some poorly made official coins may be difficult to distinguish from each other as both were in common circulation.
Numerous listings such as Mitchiner & Yih (2013) and Robinson (2015) Romanized ضرب as "zarb", though various Arabic Romanization standards tend to approximate ض as "d".
