| Obverse description | Denomination expressed as 'I : S :' (one stuiver) in raised Latin characters occupying the central field, enclosed within a pearled rectangular border formed by a continuous row of raised pellets. The flan is hand-cut copper of irregular form, with the rough, uneven surfaces characteristic of primitive cast and cut coinage. The lettering is boldly if crudely rendered, consistent with the rudimentary striking technique employed at the Batavian colonial mint in Java. |

| Additional information |
The Batavian Republic — the French-backed successor state to the Dutch Republic, established in 1795 — inherited the wreckage of the VOC, which had been declared bankrupt and formally dissolved at the end of 1799. Coins continued to be struck under the joint Batavian Republic/VOC authority for the East Indies through 1806, largely to maintain a functioning currency in Java and the surrounding territories during a period of acute administrative chaos.
Napoleon's transformation of the Batavian Republic into the Kingdom of Holland in 1806 effectively ended this series.
