This is a 1/4 gulden coin minted in 1855 for the Dutch East Indies. It features a crowned coat of arms with a lion holding a sword and arrows, surrounded by the inscription "NEDERLAND INDIE" and the date "1855". The coin is small and made of silver, reflecting the use of this currency in the Dutch colonies. The design is typical of 19th-century Dutch numismatics, combining heraldry and royal imagery with colonial identifiers. This coin, now in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the economic and political landscape of Dutch colonialism in the 19th century.
