Comment
The coins were probably issued between late 16th century and early 19th century, a span of about 250 years.
Interesting fact
The Pitis Al Adil ND (1582-1828) coin from Brunei made of Tin-lead is interesting because it is one of the earliest coins to be produced in Southeast Asia, and it reflects the rich history and cultural heritage of Brunei during that time period.
