Duit voor Nederlands Indië uit Holland,1804 1804

This small, copper coin, known as a "duit," was minted in 1804 during the period of the Batavian Republic, which governed the Netherlands from 1795 to 1806. The coin features the inscription "INDIA BATAV: 1804," indicating its intended use in the Dutch East Indies. This "duit" from the Batavian Republic exemplifies a piece of numismatic history and serves as a tangible reminder of the Dutch colonial presence in Southeast Asia.
