This small, copper coin, measuring only 2.8 centimeters in diameter, was minted in 1819 by Willem I, King of the Netherlands. It features the inscription "INDIA BATAVIA 1819" indicating its intended use in the Dutch East Indies, specifically in Batavia, the capital of the colony. This coin, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a tangible link to the history of Dutch colonialism and its economic impact on the region.
