dutch72 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I have a 5 cent square dutch coin. It has both Queens Wilhamina and Juliana on it. The inscription reads 30 jaar vrij (30 years free) Does anybody know anything about this coin ? I have had it since I was a kid and know nothing about it. Also does anybody know the value of it? Not that I would sell it but just more curious than anything. Thank you SO much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captaincoffee Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 There are probably some much smarter guys than me on the website that can answer, but your description doesn't match my Netherlands square 5 cent pieces circa 1913-1943. I don't see a match in Krause for the Netherlands or the Netherlands Antilles either. My guess would be it is a commemorative issue. I wouldn't expect a high value, but of course that would depend on condition and exactly what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyg Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 it's a commemorative medallion (is this the right word?) Unofficially issued with the design of the older (by then defunct) 5 centc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
