NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES. Dutch East India Company. Java. 1/2 Stuiver, 1644. Batavia Mint. NGC VF Details--Environmental Damage.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.<em>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.</em><br />
