Comment
This is a coin of the Patani Sultanate, which territory spanned approximately the area of the modern Thai provinces of Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat and part of the northern modern-day Malaysian state of Kelantan.
Interesting fact
The 1 Pitis 1297 (1880) coin from the Sultanate of Patani (Islamic states of Malaysia) made of Tin weighing 3.65 g is interesting because it is a rare example of a coin that was used as a form of currency in the 19th century in Malaysia, and it is made of a unique material, Tin, which is not commonly used in coin production.
