Samudra Pasai is one of the earliest sultanate in the Malay archipelago to issue Islamic style gold coinage, called Dirham and Kupang. Despite the Islamic appearance, Aelst (1995:369) and Alfian (1997:11) has noted that the weight and units of Pasai currency correspond to the archipelago's preceding Hindu monetary system in which:
1 Dirham/Mas = 4 Kupang
1 Kupang = 400 Keueh
