| Additional information |
Pattern coinage for the Netherlands East Indies was rarely struck in tin — the metal was chosen here almost certainly to test die impression and relief at production weight, not as a proposed circulating composition. The gulden fractions in regular issue ran to silver, and no tin 1/4 gulden ever entered circulation. Scholt II#808 is sparsely documented, and surviving examples are essentially unknown outside specialist Dutch colonial collections.
