What coin is that on? Looks like a Dutch sour grapes piece...

 

As the inscription says, it is about "400 years Netherlands-Manhattan" relations. In 1609 Henry Hudson, working for the Dutch VOC, landed at a site which is known as Manhattan. We've had earlier topics about this issue (here for example: http://www.cointalk.com/t47651/), but the image links in that old topic are mostly "dead" now ...

The Dutch edge lettering is GOD ZIJ MET ONS (God be with us). Can be found on every €2 coin, and on those collector coins too.

Thank You! Do you speak Dutch?

 

A little - I live in Western DE, but NL is pretty close, and we go there every few weeks.

The Dutch kicked English butt in the Anglo-Dutch conflicts. They'd probably still be at it if not for the "Glorious Revolution"......

 

Waiting for Moneyer to respond in regards to "kicking English butt!" :devil:
