COINS FROM MALACCA, 195 
1811 to 1815, copper Duits of the years 1811 to 1813 and lead 
Duits of 1814. 
The Dutch Government of Java has so far issued no gold 
coins. The first silver coins, Guilders, seem to have been struck 
imete2t. the first copper coins in 1817 or 1818. The 
Malacca collection contains four copper coins. 
In addition to coins current in Java also some of the well- 
known tokens issued by British merchants and traders in Sumatra 
were found, further some coins struck by the British East India 
Company for Penang, and finally a coin from India and one from 
Holland. 
(a). Coins of the Dutch East India Company (1602-1799.) 
Most of the coins issued by this Company bear the mono- 
oram Qf, formed of the letters V. O. C., standing for ‘Vereenig- 
de Oost-Indische Compagnie,’ i.e. United East India Company.
