<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coin_nut, post: 3108151, member: 80148&quot;]1644 VOC 1/2 stuiver. I have posted this on another thread. From Wikipedia:</p><p><br /></p><p>“In 1644 the VOC instructed a Chinese resident of Batavia named Conjok to <span style="color: #ff0000">mint</span> copper coinage in denominations of a half and quarter stuiver to address the shortage of low denomination money. The VOC administrators in the Netherlands ordered this minting to cease after only five weeks, so not many coins were <span style="color: #ff0000">minted</span>.”</p><p><br /></p><p>*Note that these coins were cast, not minted.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]787999[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]788000[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
