Johor Mas (Gold) Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah (1571-1597)
Rarity: RRRR/SS7
The name "Johor" originated from the Arabic word Jauhar, which means "Precious Stones". Founded by Sultan Alauddin the son of Sultan Mahmud Shah, the last Sultan of Malacca, after fleeing from the Portuguese in Malacca. Johor harassed, attacked and became a thorn to the Portuguese during their 130-year rule. The Johor empire covered the area of Riau archipelago, Singapore, Terengganu, Pahang and parts of Sumatera namely Rokan, Siak, Kampar and Indragiri.

A trade coinage in gold for the State of Johore first appeared in the reign of the first Sultan Ala'uddin (1527/28-1564). It consisted of two denominations, the Mas and the Kupang and was used as far as Patani and Kedah as well as parts of Sumatra.
These gold coins were octagonal in shape except for the issue of one reign (Sultan Abdul Jalil) which were struck on circular flans.

A Mas usually weighed between 2.2gm to 2.6gm while a Kupang weighed about 0.60gm to 0.65gm., thus establishing the rate of exchange at 4 Kupang to 1 Mas Coin

I was told by a very serious Malay States Sultanate coins collector, he said he has not seen this SS7 Mas Johore gold coin for more than 15 years.It is definitely a very rare coin.
