This copper coin, minted in 1816, is a small but significant piece of Dutch colonial history. Created during the reign of King Willem I of the Netherlands, the coin features the inscription "INDIA BATAV: 1816," indicating its use in the Dutch East Indies. The coin is a testament to the economic and political power of the Netherlands during this period, and its presence in the Rijksmuseum highlights the importance of numismatics in understanding history and culture. The small size of the coin also emphasizes the impact of these objects on everyday life in the region.
