Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 ½ Cents - Wilhelmina (Pattern) 1902 from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) made of Silver weighing 13.51 g is that it was designed by the Dutch artist and engraver, Joseph Ferdinand Gould. Gould was known for his work on various coins and banknotes, and his design for this coin features a portrait of Queen Wilhelmina on the obverse and a depiction of a Javanese temple on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1902 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
