Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1785 2 Stuivers coin from Indonesia (Netherlands East Indies) is that it was made of silver (.583) and features a unique design, with a depiction of a mythical creature called a "banteng" on the obverse side. The banteng is a symbol of strength and power in Indonesian culture, and its inclusion on the coin reflects the importance of the region's rich cultural heritage.
