| Additional information |
By 1807, the VOC had been legally dissolved for seven years — wound up by the Batavian Republic on the last day of 1799 under the weight of catastrophic debt and administrative collapse. These copper pieces were struck for colonial circulation in the East Indies under the successor government's authority, yet they continued to carry VOC-associated iconography, a bureaucratic lag that tells you something about how slowly the colonial monetary apparatus actually changed on the ground.
The 38.6g weight is not incidental — colonial copper issues of this type were deliberately struck heavy to discourage local substitutes and to function as fiduciary tokens in markets where metal value mattered.
