The coin was found in Palembang.
More informations in Millies page 116-117; pl. XVII. (There are 4 tin coins from Siak Sultanate listed in Millies (#154-#157), but I don´t know if this coin is listed there because the pics are so bad...I can not recognize it!!!)

Interesting fact
The 1 Pitis coin from the Sultanate of Siak (Indonesian States) made of Tin weighing 0.79 g is interesting because it is one of the smallest coins in the world, with a diameter of only 13mm.
