Comment
This coin was found in Musi River (Sumatra/Indonesia).Some of these Johore State coins are listed in the catalog: "The Encyclopaedia of the coins of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei 1400-1967" from Saran Singh. See page 120-126. But the conditions of the coins are in bad condition so its not possible to ID the coins!
Different sizes of these coins are possible....see pic....
Interesting fact
The 1 Pitis coin from the Malay peninsula (Malaysia) made of Tin weighing 0.90 g is interesting because it is one of the few coins in the world that is made of tin, which is a relatively soft and malleable metal. This makes it unique compared to other coins that are typically made of more durable materials like copper, nickel, or zinc.
