DINAR MATAHARI GOLD KUPANG WITH FISH TAIL
The Dinar Matahari or Flower Type Gold Kupang of Patani-Kelantan With Fish Tail
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) inscribed with a fish tail font.
Edge: Plain.
