This coin is a different denomination, but is virtually the same weight as the Ducaton, and issued for the same reason. "VOC" was the Dutch trading company set up for commerce is the East Indies. Both coins, in terms of actual pure silver content, were nearly twenty per cent heavier than the Spanish 8 Reales also circulating in the area.
