Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Keping 1200-1202 (1786-1788) from Sumatra (British East Indies) made of Copper weighing 2.91 g is that it was issued during the reign of Sultan Mahmud Shah III, who ruled the Aceh Sultanate from 1782 to 1815. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during his reign, which were designed to standardize the currency in the region and promote trade. The coin features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design, reflecting the cultural exchange and diversity of the region during that time.
