    Unknown tin cash coin from Indonesia area, Hartill suggests in passing in A Guide to Cash Coins that it is a gambling token, but others have suggested a local imitation of an official sultanate coin. Pretty cool if you're into cash coins and their spin-offs.

    4 sets of 4 dots
    Circa 15-18th century
