| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned Dutch Royal Arms — a quartered shield displaying the rampant lion of Nassau brandishing a sword and bundle of arrows — surmounted by an elaborate royal crown. The date is divided on either side of the shield, with numerals flanking the central device. A beaded inner circle frames the arms, while the peripheral legend reads 'NEDERLANDSCH INDIE' along the upper arc and '1 CENT.' along the lower arc in raised Latin lettering. The overall design is executed in high relief with fine engraving detail characteristic of Utrecht Mint production. |

| Obverse lettering | NEDERLANDSCH INDIE. 1 CENT. 1860 (Translation: Dutch East Indies) |
| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a central beaded circle enclosing the denomination inscription in Arabic script reading 'سَفَراتُس رُوْپِيَه' (one hundredth of a rupiah), presented in two lines within the inner field. Surrounding the beaded circle, the outer legend repeats the same denomination value in Javanese script, running continuously around the periphery. A small decorative floral ornament appears at the top of the coin between the two scripts. The overall composition is bilingual, reflecting the colonial administration's dual-language monetary policy for the archipelago. |
