SAMUDRA-PASAI: Ahmad III, ca. 1452-1455, AV kupang (0.60g), Leyten (2025)-SP15var, ahmad malik al-zahir (sic) // al-sultan al-'adil, with sultan simplified, unpublished variety with a dotted and retrograde z, very rare, XF. 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. We will follow his criteria and tentatively assign this coin to Ahmad III.
