| Additional information |
Willem I established the Dutch East Indies as a crown colony in 1815 after the British returned it under the Anglo-Dutch Treaty, and the colonial mint issues that followed were instruments of fiscal consolidation as much as anything else. The half gulden series of this period circulated across an economy still adjusting to restored Dutch authority after the Napoleonic interruption, during which the colony had functioned under British administration for five years.
