VOCrajat

VOCrajat is a term that combines "VOC" (short for the Dutch East India Company) and "rajat" (meaning "gold" in Sanskrit). It refers to the gold coins minted by the VOC in the 17th and 18th centuries, primarily in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). These coins were part of the VOC's extensive trade network and played a significant role in the region's economy.

The VOCrajat coins were minted in various cities, including Batavia (now Jakarta), Surabaya, and Makassar. They were typically made of gold and featured the VOC's coat of arms, which included a ship and the motto "Plus Ultra" (Latin for "Further"). The coins were used for trade, payment of taxes, and as a medium of exchange in the Dutch colonies.

The VOCrajat coins are of historical and numismatic interest due to their unique design and the role they played in the economic history of Southeast Asia. They are also valued by collectors for their historical significance and the craftsmanship of their minting. Today, VOCrajat coins are relatively rare and can command high prices in the numismatic market.
