Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 3 Gulden 1789 coin from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) made of Silver (.920) is that it features a unique blend of Dutch and Indonesian design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a Dutch East India Company ship, while the reverse side features a traditional Indonesian motif known as the "Batik pattern." This blending of cultures reflects the complex history of the Netherlands East Indies, which was a Dutch colony that later became part of Indonesia.
