Muntje van 10 cents, dubbeltje, uit 18..9, Oost-Indië c. 19th century

This small, silver coin is a 10-cent piece from the Dutch East Indies, dating back to the 19th century. It is a typical example of numismatic art, a field of art history that studies coins and currency. It was created anonymously and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The coin, with its distinct Dutch East Indies design, provides insight into the history of colonial trade and the cultural exchange that took place during that era.
