SAMUDRA-PASAI: Ahmad II or Ahmad III, 1326-1360 or 1435-1452, AV kupang (0.60g), Leyten-SP6a/15, ahmad malik al-tahir // al-sultan al-'adil with ligatured lam-ta, small planchet flaw, Choice XF, ex Jürgen M. Wilmes Collection. In the 2004 edition of his catalog (p.148), Leyten states it is impossible to distinguish between the coinages of Ahmad II (1326-1360) and Ahmad III (1435-1452). However, he does make a distinction in the 2025 edition (pp.187-8) based on the way the word sultan is written. Specifically, the lam and ta are ligatured and the nun is connected to the alif on Ahmad III's coins. Confusingly, this coin only exhibits the first trait and thus cannot be attributed to one ruler following his criteria.
