Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Merchant token used in the Malay archipelago (particularly the Malaccan straits) around the early 1800s. These coins are not issued by any ruling authority of the time, making it less than "official" currency, but rather introduced by British merchants for use as small changes. Legend in local languages and script such as Malay, Bugis, and Thai are used to facilitate acceptance. see H. Leslie Ellis (1895) BRITISH COPPER TOKENS OF THE STRAITS SETTLEMENTS AND MALAYAN ARCHIPELAGO
Bahasa Indonesia: Keping dagang yang digunakan di Nusantara (terutama wilayah selat Malaka) pada awal 1800an. Koin ini tidak dikeluarkan oleh penguasa manapun masa itu, sehingga tidak bisa dianggao sebagai mata uang "resmi", namun diperkenalkan oleh pedagang Inggris untuk transaksi dengan kembalian kecil. Tulisan dengan bahasa dan aksara lokal seperti Melayu/Jawi, Bugis, dan Thai digunakan agar lebih mudah diterima masyarakat lokal. lihat H.
