| Additional information |
The name here is the real story. Ternate, in the North Maluku archipelago, was the dominant clove-producing island in the world before Dutch colonial forces systematically dismantled its spice trade monopoly in the seventeenth century — burning groves, massacring populations, and relocating clove cultivation to islands they could better control. The "Revenge" in this coin's title directly invokes that history.
The denomination — 3 Pesos — references the pre-colonial Spanish trading currency that once circulated through the eastern Indonesian archipelago via Manila galleon networks.
