Unlisted Variety Of Keping Or Pitis Tin Coin of Patani-Kelantan 1261 A.H. (1845)
Rarity:RRR/Unlisted SS68(a)


Obverse:" Ini Pitis Belanja Raja Patani".( This Pitis is the currency of the Raja of Patani) Weight: 6.00gm. Diameter: 31mm

While I was going through my latest collection of Patani- Kelantan Keping or Pitis tin coins, I was very happy to find this very interesting piece of SS68 Keping with obverse in Arabic inscription : " Ini Pitis Belanja Raja Patani".( This Pitis is the currency of the Raja of Patani) and  Reverse: " Khalifatul Muminin Sanat 1261".(Ruler of the Faithful). 

" Khalifatul Muminin Sanat 1261"1845 (Ruler of the Faithful 1845). "Raised Elephant Trunk" Variety.

The normal weight of a SS68 Patani-Kelantan Tin Keping coin with a diameter measured at 31mm is 2.80gm to 3.50gm. This selected piece is weight at 6.00gm, double the weight of a normal SS68 Keping. Should I crown it as an unlisted  Patani-Kelantan "Doubled Keping"?

An other interesting feature exhibited on this "Double Keping" tin coin is the date "1261 A.H." on the reverse of the coin that resembled an "elephant" had a raised trunk. The normal SS68 pieces were with a "elephant trunk" pointed down.

" 1261 A.H." (1845)

This is going to my best collection of a Patani-Kelantan Tin Keping .
