Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ¼ Gulden 1802 from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) made of Gold is that it features a unique blend of Dutch and Indonesian design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of King Louis Bonaparte of the Netherlands, while the reverse side features a traditional Indonesian motif of a stylized tree with a pair of birds perched on its branches. This blending of cultural styles reflects the complex history of the Netherlands East Indies, which was a Dutch colony in Indonesia for over three centuries.
