TuckHard Posted April 14, 2023 · Member Share Posted April 14, 2023 This one is neat because the city name, Palembang, has always been known on this coin but the heavily stylized Arabic inscription hid another interesting term: Inglistan, meaning state of England. The coin's inscription had never been fully read until around 2013- prior to that it was mostly undeciphered despite being known to catalogers since the 1800s. Before the Inglistan portion was read, and thus linked to the British Occupation period of Palembang, this coin was believed to have been issued around 1750 AD as told in FSR's book Palembang Coins. In essence, this coin was a occupation issue under the British crown, albeit leased out to local minters, during their short rule over Sumatra from 1812 to 1816.
