Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden 1802 coin from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the region. The Netherlands East Indies was a Dutch colony that was established in the early 17th century, and it remained under Dutch control until the end of World War II in 1945. During this time, the Dutch introduced their own currency, the Gulden, which was used throughout the colony. The ½ Gulden coin was a smaller denomination that was introduced in 1802, and it was made of silver (.916) and weighed 5.38 grams. Despite its small size, this coin is a valuable piece of history that reflects the complex and fascinating story of colonialism and economic development in the region.
