In the 17th century, most of Indonesia was controlled by the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie). In 1673 and 1681 counter-stamped Japanese kobans like this one, were circulated in the region. They were counter-stamped by the Dutch, and valued at nine or ten rijksdaalders. These were accepted in the Dutch possessions, indicating the spread of their trade. Diam. 70 mm; Weight, 17,81 g. Inv. CM 1933,0401.12750.
