<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2417601, member: 39&quot;]As for the acorn, I guess the idea was to &quot;mimic&quot; the mintmaster sign used on most Dutch coins. So the acorn was picked for the European Netherlands while the palm tree was used for the overseas territories. Maybe a tulip would have made more sense for the former ... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also note that there are actually two different 1944 designs - in one case there is no text below the Queen&#039;s neck, the other type (also made in &#039;45) has the &quot;EN&quot; of &quot;Nederlanden&quot; underneath the neck.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
