The date in Western (AD) numerals appears prominently in the lower register, with a mint letter below. Decorative flourishes and dot ornaments frame the inscriptions. The overall design reflects the hybrid Javanese-Dutch colonial numismatic style characteristic of late VOC and Batavian Republic coinage for Java. |
