TuckHard Posted January 8, 2023 · Member Share Posted January 8, 2023 This one is no longer in my collection, it's in the warehouse of SARC awaiting auction in coming months. It'll be my first cosigned coin which I'm excited about. This coin was issued under Sultanah Kamalat Shah, the last woman ruler of Aceh who's reign ended nearly sixty years of matriarchal rule over the important port and sultanate which overlooked the Malacca Strait trade between China, India, and new-coming European powers pushing their way into the spice trade.
