Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Gulden Willem I coin from Indonesia (Netherlands East Indies) is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued in 1826, just a few years after the Dutch East India Company's monopoly on trade in the East Indies was abolished, and the Dutch government took over control of the region. This period saw a significant increase in trade and economic activity in the region, which led to the need for a new currency system. The ¼ Gulden coin was part of this new system and was used widely in Indonesia and other parts of the Netherlands East Indies.
