NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES. Dutch East India Company. Java. 1/2 Stuiver, 1644. Batavia Mint. NGC VF Details--Environmental Damage.
Estimate: $40 - $60
KM-31; Sch-18. Rather well preserved with consistent chocolate brown surfaces and wear only minimally obscuring the higher points of the design. An excellent example from this crude cast copper issue.
The East India Company itself did not produce this coinage, instead contracting a Chinese immigrant named Conjok to cast both 1/2 and 1/4 Stuivers. These coins were later demonetized before the end of 1644.
Estimate: $40 - $60
