| Additional information |
The VOC duit was the workhorse of small transactions across the Dutch East Indies for most of the eighteenth century, circulating in Batavia and the surrounding trading posts where silver was hoarded and copper did the daily work. Production ran across multiple Dutch provincial mints — Holland, Zealand, Utrecht among them — each striking nominally identical coins that varied considerably in quality depending on the mint and the year. Holland issues under KM#70 are generally the most consistently struck of the provincial varieties.
After the VOC's bankruptcy and dissolution in 1799, remaining stocks continued circulating under Batavian Republic authority well into the nineteenth century.
