Brunei pitis

The pitis was a currency of Brunei last issued in 1868 which circulated into the 20th century. It is also referred to as the picis by Antonio Pigafetta[1] and some variants of it were referred to as the kue and the paku (English: piece). It was later replaced by the Straits dollar in Brunei, which is valued at 4,000 pitis[2] or 800 paku[3] and at par with the Spanish dollar.
