My final contribution to this thread is an AH 1193 (AD 1779) Sultanate of Palembang 1 Pitis - Muhammad Bahauddin, which I generously received from last year's CCF Secret Santa. I don't expect to acquire anything older, so I'll be a spectator until the Ninth Edition.

I'm a little late for the party, but here is another Palembang pitis bountou (bountou don't have the central hole)

late edit: notes should read R3 rarity, not R10

Ottoman Empire 1 para
Abdul Hamid I year 5 (AH 1191, 1777 CE)

On the reverse you can see the date 1187 at the bottom which is year 1 and at the top is the numeral 5 for the fifth year.
