| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the interlaced VOC monogram of the Dutch East India Company, with the letter 'C' prominently positioned above the conjoined 'V' and 'O' characters forming the cipher. The monogram is enclosed within a beaded border running along the coin's circumference. The letters 'C VOC' are incorporated into the decorative monogram design. The overall style is characteristic of late 18th-century VOC coinage issued for colonial Ceylon. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the fractional denomination rendered in bold raised numerals within a beaded border, indicating the coin's value of one-quarter Stuiver. The numeral '1' appears above a horizontal dividing line with '4' below, followed by the abbreviation 'ST', together clearly expressing the fraction. The field surrounding the denomination numeral is plain, with a beaded border encircling the entire design. The simple typographic presentation is typical of utilitarian VOC colonial coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1783 the VOC was in terminal financial collapse, kept nominally operational only by Dutch state intervention that would end in the company's formal dissolution in 1799. These fractional copper issues from the final decades were struck for use in the company's Asian trading posts, where chronic shortages of small-denomination coinage made even the most debased company copper acceptable. The VOC's monetary infrastructure in the East had always run on improvisation.
