Pitis Timah Kelantan-Tin Coins of Kelantan

Rusdi Jusoh publish his 2nd book "Pitis Timah Kelantan-Tin Coins of Kelantan" on 28 August 2016. The 33 pages book talk about Kelantan Pitis coins and the coins variety. The book publish by Rusdi Jusoh own company, Purbawan Enterprise (Purbawan Numismatic Gallery).

Pitis Kelantan

In my opinion, this book is a small catalogue of Kelantan Pitis coins with a complete pictures of each varieties. They are only 11 Kelantan Pitis coins included in this book with 43 coin varieties. Rusdi Jusoh categorize Kelantan Pitis coins into 11 categories and 2 parts (with KELANTAN word and without KELANTAN word). This book written in Malay and I am not sure if any English book available.

What interesting about this black & white book is the way the author teaches readers to recognize Kelantan Pitis coins. He use his own special catalogue number (Purbawan code P#). In my opinion, his catalogue number make it easy to understand about the coin variety and coin design as well.

Purbawan code

The book printed by the publisher using lasetjet printer and 128g art paper. For me, it is worth it since the publisher sale this book for RM15 (including Pos xpress postage) and you only need to add RM10 for extra copy. However, for those of you who want to buy this book, it has been sold out recently.

The only mistake we found are they are some coins without their weight and diameter size in the book. Hopefully, Rusdi Jusoh also make an English version of this book in the near future.
