Currency of Pedir similar to Mughal currency

in #history8 years ago

Van Langen (1888) contains pictures silver currency, from Pedir (now districts of Pidie, Aceh) called "kupang". So far I have never seen objects or the original picture.

According to images aired Van Langen, currency front side inscribed: 1172 Paduka Sultan 'Alaiddin Shah; and on the back side: 'Azizul Barakah 6.

A source said that the Sultan of Aceh it has allowed the State of Pedir to print its own currency.

Coin of Alamgir II (1699-1759), Mughal Empire currency at India.

Things that attract attention is the similarity or even may influence currency of of this kupang with currency the generated by the Mughal Empire at India, namely currency of Alamgir II (1699-1759). This is due to the front side kupang besides listed the name of the sultan, was also listed in 1172, and is similar to the Mughals currency. Then on the back side of the kupang, there are also Arab as number 6 on the currency Mughal, only the kupang currency unwritten "sanah" (years old).

While the word 'Azizul Barakah' (blessed glorious), it is not yet known whether he of Pedir rulers, or degree of Sultan 'Alaiddin or other. Even so, it also has similarities with Mughal, because Alamgir II has the title 'Azizuddin (both use the word' Aziz: Aziz Ad-Din and 'Aziz Al-baraka).

Similarities or may be affected kupang Pedir currency with Mughal currency seem obvious, which suggests a possible link between Pedir and Mughal, but the question then is how the real relationships state of Pedir with Mughal Empire at India?
