Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Stuiver 1812-1815 coin from Java (British East Indies) is that it was minted during a brief period of British rule in the region, which lasted from 1811 to 1816. During this time, the British East India Company took over the administration of the Dutch East Indies, which included Java, and introduced new currency systems, including the Stuiver coin. The coin was made of copper and weighed 13.2 grams, and it was used for everyday transactions in Java during this period.
