186 COINS FROM MALACCA. 
which means ‘ The just king.’ Its size is 24mm = 12 in. and its 
weight 3.3 grammes (See pl. I, fig. 5). Mr. R. J. Wilkinson kind- 
ly identified this coin for me, and I subsequently found it figured 
and described by Netscher and Van der Chijs (73,) p. 179, pl. 
XXVI, fig. 245, and by Millies (72,) p. 148, pl. XXIII, fig. 250. 
The specimen described by the former two authors has also one 
side entirely smooth, and they state that the title maliku ’1-‘Adil is 
used by several rulers of Western Borneo. According to them 
the coin would have come from Sambas or Mampawa in West 
Borneo and date from the year 1822. Millies, however, refers 
the coin to Trengganu.* : 
(6). The coin figured on pl. II, fig. 2, seems to bear only 
a portion of the inscription maliku ’i-‘adil on the one side, whilst 
the characters on the other side are too indistinct to be deci- 
phered. 
Some of these tin coins may possibly have come from Su- 
matra. Marsden (9), p. 401, speaks of tin coins current in Acheen, 
and Netscher and Van der Chijs (13), p. 162, too describe such 
coins from Acheen, as well as from Palembang, Jambi and the 
neighbouring island of Banka, but I have not been able to 
identify any fo the Malacca coins with them. 
The collection also contains a few Chinese coins, cash, which, 
however, are too much corroded to be identified. 
Il, THE EUROPEAN COINS. 
1. The Portuguese Coins. 
The Kuropean coins found at Malacca are Portuguese, 
Dutch and English, and, as I stated before, their dates embrace 
the whole period of the occupation of that place by these three 
natiors. 
*Since writing the above I have seen a paper by Lt. Col. Gerini, 
‘A Malay Coin,’ Journal, Royal Asiatic Society, April 1903, 
pp. 339-343, in which certain small gold coins, found in Jaring, near 
Patani, are described. Their obverse is ‘an imitation of a Southern 
Indian fanam bearing the figure of a maneless lion,’ whilst their 
reverse bears the inscription Jolall, reminding thus strongly of the 
tin coins described above. Dr. Codrington is of opinion that those 
gold coins had come from Acheen.
