Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of tin, which is a relatively soft and malleable metal. This made it easy to mint and shape into coins, but it also made it more susceptible to wear and tear over time. As a result, coins made of tin were often used for smaller denominations and were not intended to be used for long periods of time. Despite this, the ½ Pitis coin from the Sultanate of Trengganu has remained a popular collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
