| 正面描述 | Central field bears the VOC monogram (the United East India Company balemark), flanked on either side by the denomination numeral '1' and the abbreviation 'St' for Stuiver, with the mintmaster's or variety letter 'B' positioned above the monogram. The design is rendered in plain relief against an unornamented field, typical of utilitarian colonial coinage of the period. |

When Napoleonic France absorbed the Netherlands in 1810, Britain seized Dutch colonial possessions before French control could consolidate. Java fell to a British amphibious assault in August 1811, and Thomas Stamford Raffles was installed as Lieutenant-Governor. The VOC had been formally dissolved since 1799, but its copper coinage infrastructure remained, and the British administration continued striking stuivers using existing VOC dies and planchets rather than commission new colonial types — a purely pragmatic decision driven by the need to maintain a functioning trade currency in the archipelago.
The four-year production window ended with Java's return to Dutch authority under the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814, formalized in handover by 1816.
