| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central field bears a two-line inscription reading NEU-GUINEA / COMPAGNIE in bold serif capital letters. Below the inscription, two crossed palm fronds are depicted in low relief, serving as a decorative device evocative of the colonial Pacific territory. The entire design is enclosed within a rope-twist border that runs continuously around the coin's inner rim, lending a distinctive nautical character to the type. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Neu-Guinea Compagnie was a chartered trading concern granted administrative authority over German New Guinea in 1885, effectively running a colonial territory as a private commercial enterprise. That arrangement collapsed by 1899, when the German Imperial government revoked the company's charter and assumed direct governance — making this 1894 issue one of the final years of coinage struck under company authority rather than the Imperial Crown.
Berlin's Münze produced these in extremely limited quantities for a territory where barter and trade goods still dominated most transactions. Few ever saw meaningful circulation.
