This copper coin, known as a "½ duit", was minted in 1818 during the reign of King Willem I of the Netherlands. The coin's inscription "INDIA BATAV" refers to the Dutch East Indies, which was under Dutch colonial rule at the time. This small coin, measuring only 1.8 cm in diameter, is an artifact of the Dutch colonial era and a testament to the historical relationship between the Netherlands and Indonesia. The coin is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
