Comment
Most coins from Johor are without date.
Very often the coins also lack the name of the ruler, or there are several rulers sharing the same name, so date is often difficult to determine.
Stephen Album auction site date the coin to around 1800. MALAY STATES: JOHORE: Anonymous, ca. 1800±, tin katun (0.96g), ND, VF - Stephen Album Rare Coins (sarc.auction)
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Katun coin from the Sultanate of Johor is that it features a unique uniface design, meaning that the coin has a single design on both sides, unlike most coins that have a different design on the obverse and reverse.
