The duit was the workhorse of VOC trade in the Indonesian archipelago, struck in copper for everyday commerce — but silver strikes of this type were produced as presentation pieces or for official distribution, not circulation. Utrecht was one of six VOC chambers, each with its own mint privilege, and coins struck under Utrecht's authority carry distinct heraldic identifiers separating them from Amsterdam, Zeeland, and the other chambers. The arrangement created persistent inconsistency in fineness and weight across the system, a source of ongoing friction within the Company's own accounting.
