ClusterCoin Valued Member Australia 136 Posts	Posted 03/20/2025 09:21 am I'm trying to ID this 1 Keping coin from (I believe) 1836. The reverse is a perfect match to this Numista entry: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces135443.html But the obverse only matches the first line. It's not from Perak, as far as I can tell. The Arabic text doesn't appear to match my Sulawesi coins. Half the second line on this coin is a match: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces233456.html Coin is 2 grams, 2cm diameter. Numista's comments state the coins sometimes had misleading or ficticious names associated with them. Thank you Edited by ClusterCoin 03/20/2025 09:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

Spot on match. Quote: AFAICT this type is not on Numista. Numista is my go-to catalogue when searching for coins, but it does sometimes have holes that frustrate the search.
