| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude cast copper piece of elongated rectangular form with irregular edges, characteristic of VOC-issued Ceylonese copper currency. The obverse bears the denomination inscription 'VI St' (six stuivers) in raised letters within the flat central field. The surface displays the rough, uneven texture typical of cast coinage produced at the Colombo Mint under Dutch East India Company administration. No figurative device or additional ornamental elements are present, the design being purely utilitarian in character. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The VOC issued copper coinage not as a matter of convenience but of corporate necessity — the company operated its own monetary system across its Asian territories, entirely separate from the Dutch Republic's official coinage. This 6 Stuiver piece was struck for circulation in Ceylon and along the Malabar Coast, where the VOC maintained trading posts and needed low-denomination currency its employees and local traders would actually accept.
KM#22 is known for inconsistent planchet preparation, and the weight spread of nearly a full gram across specimens is a documented production issue rather than post-mint damage.
