This small, bronze weight, dating back to 1818, was created by Willem I, King of the Netherlands. The weight is inscribed with the year “1818” and was used to weigh out two Dutch “stuivers,” a type of copper coin used during the Dutch colonial period in Indonesia. The weight is housed in the Rijksmuseum and is a significant artifact of Dutch colonial history and the economic practices of the time.
