Tin mining has always been a major industry in the area so tin was used in many forms of currencies used throughout Malaysian history. There were also gold coins that were used during the Malay States period that were made by cutting metal discs or octagonal planchets taken from sheets of gold. These were then struck between pairs of inscribed dies.

There were two denominations, the Mas and the Kupang, which were used as far north as Patani, Kelatan, Terengganu and Kedah, and even in parts of Sumatra. An Mas normally weighed between 36 and 40 grains (2.60gm) of gold, while a Kupang about 9 to 10 grains (0.65gm), thus establishing the rate of exchange at 4 Kupang to 1 Mas.)
