AR 1/10 Rupee AH1139 (first digit slightly weak engraved) (KM-.-; Zeno189605) - Obv: Ali Raja, al-Malik al-Wali / Rev: Bi-al Hijarat / sanah 1139 - 1.11 gram - VF Note: This is a half of the usual 1/5 rupee and so far an unreported denomination. For the same year a lead/tin bazarruco (ZENO 170449) is known and it seems they tried to adopt the Indo-Portuguese monetary system current along the Malabar Coast. In that case this denomination would be equal to the silver tanga of 60 Reis
