Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant change in the Netherlands East Indies, which was a colony of the Netherlands that included present-day Indonesia. The coin was introduced in 1903, just a few years after the Dutch government had implemented a series of reforms aimed at modernizing the colony and increasing its economic productivity. These reforms, known as the "Ethical Policy," aimed to promote economic development and improve living conditions for the local population. The minting of this coin can be seen as a symbol of the Dutch government's efforts to establish a stable and prosperous economy in the region.
