<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gixxxer, post: 751675, member: 13268&quot;]The coin at the top of the leftmost column is a doit (¼ stivers).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&quot;Java also used lighter copper pieces called “doits” (¼ stivers), minted in 1811 &amp; 1812. Obverse left; reverse right, with “B” above balemark. The blanks were cast, with obvious tangs not removed. The letter “B” is for Batavia or possibly British, as on the balemark. No value is stated, but there were 4 doits to a stiver and 30 stivers to a rupee. Java was returned to the Dutch in 1815 after hostilities had ended in Europe, under the Treaty of Vienna, 13th August 1814. The delay was mainly due to the sailing time to the East Indies. Zwekkert continued in office, dying in 1819&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This one was pretty hard to find.
