| Aversbeschreibung | Central shield bearing the rampant lion of the Netherlands, surmounted by an elaborate royal crown with cross finial and beaded arches. The denomination is indicated by the numeral '2' to the left of the shield and the abbreviation 'CT' to the right, both rendered in bold relief within the open field. The overall design is unframed, with no peripheral legend, presenting a stark and functional heraldic composition characteristic of Dutch colonial coinage of the early nineteenth century. |

| Reversbeschreibung | Plain field bearing a bold three-line inscription in capital letters reading 'NEDERL. / INDIE' with the date below, the whole surmounted by a five-pointed star in the upper field. The mintmaster's privy letter 'V' (for K.J. de Vogel, mintmaster 1833–1837) appears in the lower field beneath the date, serving as the sole decorative or identifying element flanking the austere typographic design. The lettering is large and deeply struck, filling the flan with minimal border ornamentation, reflecting the utilitarian character of this pattern issue. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The Dutch East India Company had collapsed in 1799 under the weight of corruption and debt, and the colonial monetary system it left behind was a chaotic patchwork of local coinages, Spanish reals, and Chinese cash. Willem I's administration spent the early decades of the nineteenth century attempting to rationalize currency across the archipelago. This silver duit issue was part of that effort — a denomination rooted in the old VOC copper tradition, now restruck in silver, an awkward hybrid of colonial habit and metropolitan reform.
The KM#Pn23 designation flags this as a pattern, not a circulation issue — likely produced in limited numbers to test acceptability before wider monetary decisions were made in Batavia or The Hague.
