<p>[QUOTE="Guilder Pincher, post: 3076679, member: 87595"]Next, a half cent coin of the monogram type. These are scarce-ish of Willem I and II vintage, and are in fact the only copper coins struck under Willem II; no 1 cent coins of Willem II exist. This particular example was struck during the reign of Willem III and caught my eye because of its interesting juxtaposition of bluish toning (not very evident on the photos), remaining lustre and some polished pink copper on the coat of arms. I realise that the latter is considered undesirable, but sometimes I'm intrigued by the weird and wonderful <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Like the 1 cent coins, these half cent coins were replaced by a new bronze type in 1877, long after the silver monogram type fractional coinage had been abandoned.[ATTACH=full]774013[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]774014[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
