This small copper coin, minted in 1825, was commissioned by King Willem I of the Netherlands and depicts the inscription “NEDERL. INDIE 1825” on the face. It is a reminder of the Dutch East India Company, an early colonial power in the region. The coin, housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a tangible piece of history, showcasing the economic and political landscape of the Dutch colonies during the 19th century.
