Obverse description Central field features the Dutch lion rampant, depicted within a rectangular shield holding a bundle of arrows and a sword, surmounted by the Royal Netherlands crown with elaborate foliate decoration. The denomination numeral '2' appears to the left of the shield and the abbreviation 'C' to the right, both in large raised characters. The design is rendered in a bold, utilitarian style characteristic of early nineteenth-century colonial coinage.
