Extra Note: On obverse, in Jawi, " Duriba fi Tarkanu Sanat 1265", (Struck in Terengganu in year 1265 AH = 1849 ). The inscription is incused. Rarity level by Saran Singh is RR out of RRRR, probably means very rare.

Again, my collection of Terengganu coins. I guess not many coins are having incused inscription, which makes this series quite unique. At first I want to let go one of these coins, but I changed my mind as one of it is an error coin.
Saran Singh had translated the inscription on this coin as Duriba fi Tarkanu. As someone who can read and write a little in Jawi, unfortunately I cannot find the letter ba that brings the third syllables in the word Duriba. The letter ba should be look like this. "

Hi mnfaj,
Still considering whether to go ahead with these tin coins collecting.
Arg, a tough niche to decide on.
Problem differentiating between fakes and genuine ones.
Thanks alot for sharing :)
Hi whycollect,
I think I must encourage you to go ahead with these tin coins collecting, as this is getting more exciting for me. As long as you can be confident of the genuinity of these coins, of course. I am also searching for more reliable methods to differentiate both of them. Thanks for dropping by.
