| Obverse description | The crowned Dutch royal arms occupy the central field, featuring the rampant lion of Nassau holding a sword and bundle of arrows within a quartered shield surmounted by a royal crown. The date 1902 is divided by the shield, with '19' to the left and '02' to the right. The circular legend NEDERLANDSCH INDIE runs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, while the denomination 1/2 CENT. appears in the lower exergual area. The design is rendered in high relief, consistent with the carefully finished character of a proof-quality pattern strike. |

| Reverse description | The central field features three lines of Jawi (Arabic-script Malay) text within a beaded inner circle, reading 'سڤردو راتس روڤيه' (meaning '1/200 Rupee' or equivalently '1/200 Gulden'). The outer border carries a corresponding inscription in Javanese script (Hanacaraka), encircling the entire design. A small floral or rosette ornament appears at the top of the outer legend as a dividing device. The bilingual presentation in both Jawi and Javanese scripts reflects the colonial numismatic convention of Netherlands East Indies coinage intended for multi-ethnic circulation. |
