Recently I got a lot of new and interesting Terengganu coins. Some of them are even unlisted in my reference! Among those coins, not many are having condition like this one. Almost third of it are blank coins. Actually they are not blank coins but they do look like so due to excessive corrosion of its surfaces.

One thing I notice about native coins is that, they are notorious with errors and varieties. In this post, you can compare 3 different specimens. The first specimen in the third image (SS reference) is the normal coin, whereas the second specimen in the third image is having hole, due to incomplete tin flow during its manufacturing process. And lastly my specimen here is having a very obvious bar inside the inscription. Quite similar with Johor's katun bar type. Interesting isn't? Wondering if the bar serves any purposes.

Here I attach another sample belongs to Ahmad Fyrose Adnan.
