| Reverse description | The four-digit date of issue occupies the central field in raised Latin numerals, here reading '1805', enclosed within a pearled rectangular border of raised pellets mirroring the obverse design. The surrounding field is plain and unadorned, and the overall execution reflects the utilitarian, hand-produced nature of this emergency or primitive copper coinage issued for circulation in Java under Batavian Republic administration. |

| 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.
