Zilveren afslag van een 2 cent van Nederlands Indië,1836 1836

This silver coin, minted in 1836, was commissioned by Willem I, King of the Netherlands, and was used in the Dutch East Indies. The coin's inscription, "NEDERL. INDIE 1836," is a testament to the Dutch colonial presence in the region. This small but significant piece of numismatic history, housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the economic and political dynamics of the 19th century.
