Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when the Netherlands East Indies, now known as Indonesia, was still a colony of the Netherlands. The coin features the image of King Willem I of the Netherlands, who reigned from 1815 to 1840. The use of gold in the coin's composition and the fact that it was not meant for circulation, but rather as a collector's item or a symbol of wealth and power, also adds to its uniqueness and historical significance.
