Don't know if these count, but they do have different circ values,

The first one is an Arendschelling of 6 Stuivers (6/20 fl) from Kampen. Reason this had a different circ value is that during decimalisation in the coin law of of 1816 these were counter stamped (or were already counter stamped in the century before) and circulated with a set value of 25 cents until the coin was fully replaced by a decimal 25c coin. For context, a 6 Stuiver piece in a decimal system would be 30 cents.

Coin number 2 is an 1839 2 cents from the East-Indies. Reason this is here is because although it has been denominated as a 2 cent, it circulated at the value of a double duit (1/48th of a Guilder). This rate is higher than the rate back home since they raised the exchange value of the Duit for the East-Indies

 

I think the only dual denomination coin I have is an early New Zealand 10c piece which also has the denomination ONE SHILLING.
