<p>[QUOTE=&quot;giladzuc, post: 187807, member: 2526&quot;]<b>Indonesia , Sumatera Island , Error Date 1411</b></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have that coin. Above the cock&nbsp; &quot;TANAH MELAYU&quot; in &quot;Huruf Jawi&quot; , Malay written in Arab Letters + additions. This is similar to Melaka = Malacca coins dated 1247AH. BUT ! The term TANAH MELAYU = &quot;THE MALAY LAND&quot; Referres also to the Island of Sumatera , in Indonesia. The date 1411AH is an error because it equals to 1990AD. The&nbsp; other side has twusted legend : A part of &quot;MELAYU&quot; is &quot;standing &quot; in the middle 90 degrees counter clockwise. The right and left is unreadable. It may be twisted &quot;PULAU&quot; &quot;Island&quot; in Malay/Indonesian, for the nickname of Sumatera is also PULAU MELAYU &quot;Island of the Malays&quot;. </p><p>The coins were issued in defiance to the dutch conquset during Padri war 1821-1837, that ended in conqust of the south and central ports of Sumatera by the Dutch. The values of a Keping is like the Kepings of Malaysia , and the Ducth saw the existence of the coins as a British intervension in their own affairs. There is no denomination written on the coin , only the size confirms that the value is 1 Keping = Piece in Malay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
