Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when the Netherlands East Indies, now known as Indonesia, was still a colony of the Netherlands. The coin features the image of a Dutch queen, Wilhelmina, on one side and an Indonesian native on the other, symbolizing the blending of cultures during this period of colonial rule.
