PATANI-KELANTAN DINAR MATAHARI/FLOWER TYPE GOLD KUPANG SS61
The Dinar Matahari or Flower Type Gold Kupang of Patani-Kelantan SS61
Rarity: RRR
The local name given to this type of Gold Kupang coin is Dinar Matahari or Sun Coin.
Generally, numismatists are of the opinion that the design is a flower, possibly a lotus, a kind of tropical water-lily which grows abundantly in Siam and the Malay Peninsular. It is symbolic in Buddhism and reflects Siamese influence.
It should be borne in mind that Siamese influence was extensive, particularly in the northern states of the Malay Peninsular, although the local sultans seem to have preserved their own religion and culture free from Siamese interference.
Obverse: A 6 petal flower.
Reverse: In Arabic " Malik Al Adil " (The Just Ruler)
Edge: Plain.
Weight: 0.44gm
Diameter: 9.00mm
Composition: Gold
Rarity: RRR
For the first time, this Dinar Matahari Gold Kupang to be listed in our next up and coming The Collectibles Auction Asia No.7/2016, (CAA) Auction to be held on 23rd April 2016 in Singapore Landmark Village Hotel.
Happy bidding !!
