Comment
Unlike the new bust issued in the Netherlands on the 1 and 2 1/2 Guldens, these East Indies issues kept the old bust of Willem I.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Gulden - Willem I 1839-1840 coin from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) is that it was minted during a time of significant cultural and economic change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King Willem I of the Netherlands, who ruled from 1815 to 1840. During his reign, the Dutch East India Company, which had a monopoly on trade in the East Indies, was dissolved and the Dutch government took over control of the region. This led to a period of increased economic activity and cultural exchange between the Netherlands and Indonesia, which is reflected in the design of the coin. The coin features an image of King Willem I on one side and a depiction of a traditional Indonesian temple on the other, symbolizing the blending of Dutch and Indonesian cultures.
