This small, silver coin, minted in 1802 by the Batavian Republic, is a fascinating historical artifact. The coin's inscription "INDIA BATAV: 1802" reflects the Batavian Republic's colonial ambitions in the Dutch East Indies, a region known for its abundant resources and strategic importance. Its diminutive size and weight (2.2 cm diameter, 2.67 gr) highlights the small denominations used in trade during this era. Now housed at the Rijksmuseum, it serves as a tangible reminder of the Dutch Republic's colonial past and its role in shaping the global economy.
