| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cast tin token of irregular rectangular form with characteristic concave-lobed corners at all four angles, evoking a traditional Chinese cash token planchet. The central field features a raised, recessed cartouche of rounded oblong form bearing three traditional Chinese characters arranged vertically from top to bottom in regular script (kaishu): 新瑞源 (Xīn Ruì Yuán), identifying the issuing merchant house or trading firm. The surrounding border area outside the cartouche displays a lightly textured, granular surface typical of cast tin coinage from the region. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bangka Island's tin-rich soil made the metal so abundant that local merchant houses could credibly issue their own coinage from it — the raw material was essentially underfoot. The Xīn Ruì Yuán tokens circulated within a tightly bounded commercial ecosystem, accepted by workers and traders who dealt directly with the issuing house and had little practical access to official Dutch colonial currency in the interior.
This kind of merchant-issued tin cash was tolerated, occasionally suppressed, and periodically revalidated by Dutch authorities throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, depending on how urgently the colonial administration needed to assert monetary control over the island's Chinese mining communities.
