Description

Nederlands-Indië - Celebes, Macassar/Gowa Sultanate - Muhammad Baqir, the princely name Sultan Hasan al-Din, AD1653-1669. AV kupang (0.57 g.). (ZENO 329981) Obv.: al-Sultan / Muhammad / Baqir / rev.: Khallada Allah / Mulkahu / wa-Sultanahu. Muhammad Baqir, born in Macasser, became sultan on the dead of his father, Sultan Muhammad al-Sa’id, who died on 15 November 1653 and this coin may therefore be regarded as a pre-coronation issue struck in 1653.
The Dutch called Sultan Hasan al-Din "the Rooster of the East" as he was described as aggressive in battle and was proclaimed as Indonesian National Hero on 6 November 1973.
Ref.: Unpublished and unrecorded, possibly unique. Of the highest rarity. gVF
