| Reverse description | The reverse of this cast copper bar-type coin mirrors the obverse in its stark simplicity, bearing the denomination 'VI St' (six stuivers) in raised characters centrally placed within the plain field. The surface retains the characteristic rough, pitted texture resulting from the casting process employed at the Colombo Mint. The irregular rectangular outline and absence of any decorative border or floral motif reflect the purely functional monetary purpose of this VOC-issued piece intended for circulation in Dutch Ceylon. |
