This small, copper coin, minted in 1804 by the Batavian Republic, is an example of a "Duit" used in the Dutch East Indies. The coin bears the inscription "V.O.C." an abbreviation for the Dutch East India Company. This coin, housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a glimpse into the economic history of the Dutch colonial period and its influence on the region.
