Comment
Crudely cut from copper bars called “Bonks”. Varieties exist. Considerable depreciation in weight as dates progressed.Interesting fact
The 1 Stuiver coin from Indonesia, also known as the Netherlands East Indies, has an interesting fact. Despite being made of copper and weighing 19.3 grams, it was not produced in Indonesia. Instead, it was minted in the Netherlands, specifically in Utrecht, between 1807 and 1810. This is evident from the coin's design, which features a hammered finish and the Dutch coat of arms on one side, and the Indonesian coat of arms on the other. This coin is a unique piece of history that highlights the colonial relationship between the Netherlands and Indonesia during that time period.
