| Beschrijving voorzijde | Plain copper field bearing the incuse denomination numeral '2' accompanied by the abbreviation 'St' (for Stuivers), crudely struck in a primitive hammered style typical of emergency or primitive copper coinage issued in Java. The characters are irregularly formed and deeply impressed into the roughly rectangular copper flan, with no border or additional decorative elements. The surface shows the characteristic uneven texture of a hand-cut copper planchet. |

Java was under British administration from 1811 to 1816 following Stamford Raffles' seizure of the island from the Dutch-backed Batavian Republic, but the Dutch reassumed control under the Anglo-Dutch Treaty of 1814. These copper pieces were struck in the immediate aftermath of that transfer, as the restored Dutch colonial administration scrambled to establish a functioning monetary supply on an island whose existing coinage had been badly disrupted by a decade of war and changing hands.
The hammered production method was already archaic by 1818 — a deliberate concession to available equipment in Batavia rather than metropolitan mint capability.
