<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Loong Siew, post: 2530900, member: 75799&quot;]Malay States (old Malaysia). State of Pahang. 1264 AH (1847)</p><p><br /></p><p>One Hundreth Dollar or Quarter Tampang.</p><p>SS6 (Saran Singh). 59g. Tin. RRR.</p><p><br /></p><p>Legal tender in the State of Pahang. These cast tin hat or pyramid ingots were also used as trade with other neighboring states. Circulating side by side the British Colonial Dollars, the value of each is based on their weight and designs which may vary from a around 4g&nbsp; to almost a kilogram. The designs often employ a mix of local cultural symbolism such as the mangosteen flower and Jawi script culminating in a very interesting Indo-Islamic theme. Whilst Pahang may be one of Malaysia&#039;s largest state by area, it is also one of its least populated as most of the it is made up of mountainous land. Given the small population of the state, limited circulation and mintage, most Tampang in particular intact ones are very scarce to rare.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]540946[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
