Zilveren ropij van Nederlands Indië uit Java, 1804 1804

This silver coin, minted in 1804 during the Batavian Republic, was used in the Dutch East Indies. The coin features Arabic script and the year 1804, reflecting the blend of cultures present in the region during this period. This small but historically significant coin is a testament to the complex history of Dutch colonialism and trade in Southeast Asia. It is now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
