This is a piece of ancient Johor currency made ​​of silver in rectangular shaped like dice. There are six facings. Each side has a inscription in Arabic " Sultan Abdul Jalil Shah " or " Khalifatul Muminin ".
This is the first time I came across such collection. When I approached some senior collectors of Malay States Sultanate coinage, most of them said they have not seen one except Master Tan Tai Seng. He told me he had heard such cube shape coin exist, but this is the fist time he holding a actual cube silver coin. He said this is quite rare !
