| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a bold, purely inscriptional design arranged in three horizontal lines across the field: the numeral I at the top, followed by DUIT in the centre, and the date 1796 at the foot. The lettering is large, deeply struck, and unadorned, filling the available field. A toothed or granulated inner border encircles the inscription, consistent with the obverse treatment. The plain, utilitarian style is typical of VOC subsidiary coinage intended for circulation in the Dutch East Indies. |

By 1796, the VOC was effectively bankrupt and operating on borrowed time — the Dutch government nationalized its remaining assets on January 1, 1800, after over 150 years of chartered operations. These late tin duits were struck for circulation in the company's Asian territories at a moment when the organization issuing them had already lost control of many of those same territories to British forces during the French Revolutionary Wars. The tin composition was a cost-cutting measure long established in VOC coinage for the Eastern trade, where copper and silver were more tightly managed.
