| Reverse description | The reverse bears a bold, plain-field design with the word 'JAVA' inscribed in large capital letters occupying the central field, identifying the territory of issue. A small ornamental star or asterisk appears above the legend as a decorative stop. The date and mint initial 'Z' are placed below, with the year numerals flanking the mintmark. The overall layout is stark and utilitarian, consistent with the emergency coinage character of these issues produced during the brief British administration of Java. |
