NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES: AE ½ duit, 1808, KM-75, a lovely mint state example! PCGS graded MS63 BN. The denomination is written as 5 [equal] 1/32 g[ulden] meaning 1/160 gulden. However, in 1802 the rate of exchange was set so that 6 duits should equal 1/16 gulden which means the 1/2 duit equaled 1/192 gulden, but because of the perennial shortage of small coins, the error was ignored and the coins released to circulation.
