| Obverse description | Printed in purple on white cotton paper, the obverse carries the title 'NEDERLANDSCH-INDIË / MUNTBILJET' at the top in a bold letterpress banner. To the left, a circular vignette presents the Dutch colonial coat of arms within an ornate frame, overlaid with a violet circular cancellation stamp reading 'SEROEPATHI'. To the right, an intaglio portrait of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands is set within a guilloche-bordered oval. The central denomination numeral '2½' appears in large format between the two vignettes, flanked by serial number 'BC090157A' printed in red at upper left and upper right. |
