| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed bust of King Willem I facing left, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and strong neoclassical portraiture engraved by Auguste-François Michaut. A circular countermark, applied for use in the Netherlands East Indies (Java), is visible to the right of the king's neck, bearing the numeral '5' or a similar device within an oval or circular punch. The peripheral legend reads WILLEM KONING DER NED G H V L, separated by the mint master's privy mark at the base of the truncation. The coin's border is composed of a raised dentilated rim encircling the entire obverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Dutch colonial authorities in Batavia periodically countermarked metropolitan Dutch coinage for circulation within the East Indies, a practice driven by chronic shortages of specie in the archipelago rather than any systematic monetary reform. The Willem I 10 Gulden was itself a short-lived type, struck only from 1818 to 1840 — the final year coinciding with the last issues before Willem I's abdication following the Belgian secession crisis.
The countermark application was done locally, which accounts for the variability in placement and depth seen across surviving examples.
