Comment
Minted in Negapatnam (Coromandel, nowadays in Tamil Nadu state, India)Interesting fact
The Stuiver coin from Negapatnam, Indonesia, issued in 1695, is interesting because it was made of copper, a metal that was not commonly used for currency at that time. Most coins during this period were made of precious metals like gold or silver, but the Stuiver was made of copper, which was a more accessible and affordable material. This makes it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
