| 表面の説明 | Hairpin-shaped tin ingot formed into a larin, with both parallel shanks stamped with the civic symbols of Batavia: a sword and a wreath device impressed into the surface of each leg. The hammered impressions appear on the flat upper face of each shank, characteristic of VOC-issued tin larins struck at the Batavia mint for circulation in the Dutch East Indies. |

| 裏面の説明 | The reverse faces of both shanks are plain and unstruck, retaining the rough, granular surface texture typical of cast and hammered tin larins of this type. No design, legend, or device is present. |

The VOC's tin larins were struck for circulation in Ceylon, where the larin — originally a bent wire coin used across the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean trade zones — had been adapted into a flat, locally mintable format. The Dutch inherited this currency system from the Portuguese, who themselves had adopted it from pre-colonial Ceylonese practice. Tin was the practical choice: the island's own monetary tradition had long favored the metal, and the VOC controlled enough regional tin supply from Malaya to make production cost-effective.
Schöngut 20 is among the earlier VOC tin larin types, predating the company's tighter administrative grip on Ceylonese minting that came after the 1670s.
