Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Dutch East India Company's (VOC) rule over the Indonesian archipelago, specifically in the early 17th century. The VOC was a powerful trading company that played a significant role in the spice trade and the colonization of various regions, including Indonesia. The coin's design, which features the Dutch coat of arms and an image of a lion, reflects the influence of Dutch culture and rule over the region during that time.
