What I can add is that these tin coins were used as barter ingots or small change and worth it&#039;s value in the metal as opposed to a face value. Many designs do exists ranging from fishes to crabs and some with images of Hindu gods. My theory is that these are likely equivalent of merchant tokens as opposed to official government central issues. The sword and buffalo motifs I have seen in some auction pieces as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately I have not come across publications outside of auctions or online blogs regarding these. My knowledge stems more from local Malay or Indonesian collectors and sellers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
