Despite bearing the date 1790, this coin was struck between 1840 and 1843.

Interesting fact

The Dubbele Duit coin from Utrecht, Indonesia, 1790, is fascinating because it was made during a brief period when the Dutch East India Company was experimenting with copper coins. It was only produced for a few years before the company returned to using silver coins, making it a rare and unique piece of numismatic history.
