| Obverse script | Arabic |
| Obverse lettering | إلى جزيرة جوى الكبير 1802 Z (Translation: For the Island Grand Java) |
| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold Arabic legend in three curved lines filling the entire field, reading 'Coins of the Dutch Company,' rendered in the same robust Javanese-Arabic calligraphic style as the obverse. Rows of small decorative pellets separate the lines of script, providing visual structure to the composition. The legend references the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (VOC) heritage of the coinage, even as issued under the successor Batavian Republic administration. The plain, uncluttered field and strong relief of the lettering are characteristic of Surabaya mint production of this period. No date or mint mark appears on this side. |
