Comment
This type has been reported with various dates. However, Mitchiner & Yih (2013:37-38) and Robinson (2015) concurred that all variants seem to be the same issue from AH 1193 (= AD 1779), which corresponds to the reign of Muhammad Bahauddin (1776–1803) in the Palembang Sultanate. The confusion arose from the distorted numerals; numeral 9 ٩ are prone to be distorted into 8 ٨ or 6 ٦. The numeral 1 ١ sometimes get reduced into a short stroke that can be easily mistaken as 0 ٠.Robinson (2015) provided the following variants:
