This 2-cent coin from the Dutch East Indies, dated 1835, is a small, circular piece of copper. It features the inscription "NEDERL INDIE" ("Dutch Indies") and the date "1835" in raised lettering. The coin was minted during the reign of King Willem I of the Netherlands, who ruled from 1815 to 1840. This coin is a tangible reminder of Dutch colonial presence in Southeast Asia during the 19th century and is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
