Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the Netherlands East Indies. The coin was minted between 1807 and 1810, a period when the Dutch East India Company was facing financial difficulties and the colonies were being taken over by the Dutch government. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of the region and the impact of colonialism on the local population.
