Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Duit (Java) 1806-1810 coin from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. Copper was chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were intended to be used extensively in trade and commerce. Additionally, copper was also relatively inexpensive and abundant, which made it a practical choice for minting coins. The use of copper in the production of coins during this time period is a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the people who created them.
