To serve as fractional currency during times when smaller denominations (like the 1/4 Kupang or Massa) were scarce.
This practice was a practical and necessary solution to facilitate daily trade in ancient port cities and kingdom of Sailendra (950-1150), where the value of gold was significant and standardized fractional currency was not always available.
The cutting of coins into smaller, weighted pieces ensured a functional local economy.
