Comments
The reading “Trekanu” is from Singh's (1980) catalogue, which seems to be an Arabic style spelling for Trengganu as opposed to Malay style spelling ترڠݢانو
Singh read the first word as ضرب duriba (struck), but the letter forms involved seems to better read as صرف sarf (currency). Additionally, specimens do not show any trace of the word في fi. A better reading is perhaps sarf Trekanu صرف تركانو (currency of Terengganu).
