SAMUDRA-PASAI: Ahmad Shah, ca. 1270-1295, AR 1/2 mas (0.39g), cf. Leyton-SP1a (gold), shah / ahmad // malik / al-zahir, with traces of original luster, XF-AU. This is the third example of the silver coinage we have encountered for this ruler (cf. our e-Auction 28, Lot 677). Leyten does include a small silver coin of Ahmad II (SP6S) in the 2025 edition of his work on the coins of Samudra-Pasai and Aceh, but the present type remains unpublished. These recently emerging examples of small silver coins hint at a functional, if limited, multi-metallic currency system in the kingdom of Samudra-Pasai.
