The VOC wasn't formally chartered until 1602, which makes this piece something of a ghost — struck in the name of the Amsterdam chamber in the year before the company legally existed, during the fractious period when competing Dutch trading ventures were being strong-armed by the States-General into consolidation. These early issues predate unified VOC coinage policy and were produced to pay for goods in Asian markets where the Spanish 8 reales had already established the benchmark for acceptable silver.
The Amsterdam chamber never fully surrendered its minting identity to the central company apparatus, a tension visible in issues like this one.
