Interesting fact
The ½ Stuiver coin from Indonesia, also known as the Netherlands East Indies, is interesting because it was minted during the reign of King Willem I from 1820 to 1826. It was made of copper and weighed 4.6 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin of its size and denomination at that time. Additionally, the coin features an image of King Willem I on one side and a crowned shield with the Dutch coat of arms on the other, showcasing the rich history and cultural influence of the Netherlands on Indonesia during the colonial period.
