This copper coin, ½ stuiver van Nederlands Indië, 1826, was designed by Willem I, King of the Netherlands and minted in 1826. The coin, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, features a star at the top and the inscription "NEDERL. INDIE 1826 S," which indicates its value and the year of its creation. This small but historically significant coin, measuring only 2.8 cm in diameter, provides insight into the coinage system of the Dutch East Indies during the reign of Willem I.
