| Obverse description | Central field displays the crowned royal arms of the Netherlands East Indies flanked by the fractional denomination '1/10 G' on either side. The date appears in the exergue below the shield, with a palm branch to the left and, where applicable, a mint letter to the right of the shield. The legend 'NEDERL. INDIE.' arcs along the upper periphery in Latin script. The overall design is rendered in a clean, neoclassical engraving style typical of Dutch colonial coinage of the period. |

| Additional information |
The Netherlands East Indies 1/10 gulden in silver was produced through the German occupation years of 1942–1945 at Philadelphia and San Francisco — the Dutch having lost access to their own mints after the Netherlands fell in May 1940. Coins dated 1942 onward bear a small mint mark identifying their American origin, a detail that strips away any pretense of normal colonial administration and marks the precise moment the Dutch colonial monetary system became entirely dependent on Allied goodwill.
