KUPANG (GOLD) "DAMARUSSALAM" PATANI-KELANTAN

The Gold Kupang "Damarussalam" Of Patani-Kelantan.
Rarity: R/SS51

One more rare Gold Kupang that I received from my trip visit to Kota Bharu, Kelantan.
This "Damarussalam" Patani-Kelantan Gold Kupang was sold to me by En.Azman Azahari when I was back to Subang Jaya.

It was listed as SS51 and rated "R" in Master Saran Singh book, "The Encyclopaedia Of The Coins Of Malaysia Singapore And Brunei 1400-1967".

The "Damarussalam" Patani-Kelantan Gold Kupang is weight at 0.61 gram and with a diameter measured at 9.50mm

On the obverse in Arabic inscription: "Damarussalam" (Abode of Pease).
On the oobverse in Arabic inscription: "Damarussalam" (Abode of Pease).

On the reverse in Arabic is "Khalifah Shaib" which means "Kind Ruler".
On the reverse in Arabic is "Khalifah Shaib" which means "Kind Ruler".
It is a plain edge Gold Kupang with gold composition.

Dr. Ibrahim Bakar told me when we met up at Sasana Kijang in his recent trip to Kuala Lumpur, the Arabic inscription  " Damarussalam" should be read as "Darussalam", but because in order the word "Darussalam" can be written in a form that the "Sun" and the "Crescent Moon" can be shown in a more prominent font, it was translated as "Damarussalam". I learnt new knowledge from him. Thank you Dr. Ibrahim.

Although it was rated as one "R" in Master Saran Singh book, "The Encyclopaedia Of The Coins Of Malaysia Singapore And Brunei 1400-1967", but I was told by a few senior Malay States Sultanate collectors , this "Damarussalam" Patani-Kelantan Gold Kupang is not easy to find, it should also be rated as "RRR".
