I have a half stuiver coin from The Netherlands East Indies. The lion in the coat of arms looks strange. The position of the coat of arms is different too. Comparing to the one in the catolog. I know there is KM 284.1 and KM 284.2 but both doesn't look like the one in the picture below.

Yes I have contacted him some times before. I don't want to bother him with every question I have. I also commented on that other post.
I thought maybe some Numista members could help me out this time identifying this specific coin.
If I can't get an reaction on this forum I will contact Arie.

For the moment Arie is very busy writing a new book, so it can take some time for an answer.
I have contacted him a lot of times. If you send very good pictures of your coin, he will post it on his site (if not already there....)

The lion looks a bit strange indeed. Might be a contemporary counterfeit ? But it can be genuine also, as different dies were cut for making coins.
Looking forward to a specialist's view !
