Gold inlay translation on Peusangan

Hi Jonno,

From what I could decipher, it reads: "Ini (ni) sikin Teuku Jalit Pekan" - translated as "This is sikin Teuku Jalit Pekan".

It is quite a weird name, in my opinion. Was it meant to be Teuku Balik Pekan, where probably Balik Pekan was a name of a district or area? The word "Jalit" - spelled as "Jim, Lam alif, Ya & Ta" can also be seen as "Ba, Lam alif, Ya & Kaf" - translated as "Balik".
