Comments


countermarked 'Java' in Arabic (ca. 1753-1760)
Note: A Reference or Placard by which this type of countermarked coin was put into circulation is not known, but in a Reference of Oct. 2, 1758, it is declared that the stamp for the Persian Rupees was no longer in use. It is known of a decision of 1760 to withdraw all countermarked Batavian, Surat and Persian Rupees for 30 Stivers a piece and reissue them at a rate of 27 Stivers.
