Netherlands East Indies, Java, British administration. Tinnen Duit 1814 (Bekkensnijder) (No Reserve Price)

I am selling the coin in the photo.

Difficult tin can from the Dutch East Indies (British administration) repurposed as a basin cutter.

Bekkensnijden was a fighting game where two people tried to make a light cut in each other's face. The one who first lost blood from their face was the loser. The game dates back to the Middle Ages (when unsharpened knives were typically used), but despite being banned in most places, it was very popular in the 18th and early 19th centuries. In the 18th century, it was common to play the game with a coin made into a 'bekkensnijder,' usually a copper coin. However, in this case, it is a tin coin made into a bekkensnijder.
