| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a flat, worn field bearing two lines of large, crudely incised retrograde Latin characters reading 'AVAJ' (the mirror image of 'JAVA') in the upper register and '3181' followed by '2' (the retrograde rendering of '1813 Z') in the lower register. The lettering is deeply but irregularly cut, consistent with unskilled local die production. The rim repeats the radiating denticle pattern seen on the obverse, and the overall surface shows the coarse texture typical of a hand-cast tin piece. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Java's tin coinage of this period was produced under French-aligned Batavian and later British interregnum administration — the island fell to British forces under Stamford Raffles in 1811, who inherited a monetary mess and continued issuing low-denomination pieces simply to keep petty commerce functional. Tin was the only practical local metal; copper imports had collapsed under the Napoleonic Wars' disruption of Dutch supply chains.
The "imitation" designation is telling — these were explicitly modeled on earlier VOC-era issues rather than representing a new monetary policy.
