These stuivers were crudely cut from copper bars called “Bonks”; their weight was depreciated along time.

Interesting fact

The 1 Stuiver coin from Indonesia, also known as the Netherlands East Indies, is interesting because it was made of copper, a material that was widely used for coinage in the 19th century due to its durability and affordability. Despite its relatively low value, the coin still holds historical significance as a symbol of the Dutch colonial era in Indonesia.
