| Additional information |
The Netherlands East Indies administered by Louis Napoleon's puppet government in Batavia struck these copper stuivers during one of the most chaotic periods in Dutch colonial history. France had transformed the Batavian Republic into the Kingdom of Holland in 1806, and the colonial administration in Java was left scrambling to maintain a functioning monetary supply while Napoleon tightened his grip on the parent state. The VOC had dissolved in 1799 under the weight of corruption and debt, leaving the colonial government to sort out the monetary mess.
Louis Napoleon abolished the Kingdom of Holland entirely in 1810, annexing it directly into France — effectively ending the issuing authority mid-series.
