1903 Malaya Kelantan 1 Pitis XFAU

From the South China Sea and Malay state of Kelantan comes this century-old coin. The 1903 tin 1 Pitis was issued for 1 year only, while Kelantan was ruled by Sultan Muhammad IV.

The Arabic inscriptions on this unique coin reflect the Muslim influence on this culturally diverse nation.
