Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the region. The Netherlands East Indies, which is now modern-day Indonesia, was a Dutch colony at the time, and the coin was minted in 1786, just a few years before the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars. This period of history saw significant political and economic upheaval in Europe, and it's fascinating to think that this coin was minted and used during such a tumultuous time.
