Sumatran dollar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The dollar was the currency of Sumatra until 1824. It was subdivided into 4 suku, each of 100 keping. The dollar was equal to the Spanish dollar. It was replaced by the Netherlands Indies gulden.

Copper coins were issued in denominations of 1, 2 and 4 keping. Silver 2 suku pieces were issued in the name of Fort Marlbro in 1783 and 1784, followed by copper ½ dollar tokens in 1797.
