<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TuckHard, post: 7547987, member: 102653&quot;]According to Wikipedia the Jawi script used on this coin and other contemporary types is a local script/alphabet used in the Malay region (including Sumatra) to write Arabic language to accompany the spread of Islam in the region but also to allow for native sounds not used in Arabic languages. I&#039;m not too knowledgeable on scripts/languages so please correct me if I&#039;m wrong on some of this.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1302324[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center">Jambi Sultanate of Sumatra</p> <p style="text-align: center">c. 1590-1620 AD</p> <p style="text-align: center">Tin Pitis | 0.93 grams | 19mm wide</p> <p style="text-align: center">Obv: <i>Chanpi Raj</i> in Jawi script</p> <p style="text-align: center">Rev: Plain</p> <p style="text-align: center">Ref: Hartill GCC#3.118, see <a href="https://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=17813" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.zeno.ru/showgallery.php?cat=17813" rel="nofollow">Zeno</a></p> <p style="text-align: center">Ex: Frank S.
