Crowned arms of the Netherlands divides the date 19-45. Rev. Inscription in Javanese and Malayan script. The regular issue coinage of this date was struck at a U.S. mint with the corresponding P, D, or S mintmark, or other privy mark. This example does not have a mintmark and it is speculated that the few known examples of this issue in gold were struck in the Netherlands, after 1945. A charming gem and worthy of attention.
