Offered here is a 1733 Netherlands Duit, often marketed as the "Original New York Penny." These historic Dutch copper coins circulated throughout the Dutch colonies in North America during the colonial period, including New Netherland, which later became New York after English control.
According to the original Morgan Mint presentation card, this type of coin is similar to those in circulation during the era when the Dutch purchased Manhattan Island. Today, these coins remain popular with collectors of colonial America, early world coins, and New York history.
The obverse features the distinctive VOC (Dutch East India Company) monogram with the date 1733, while the reverse displays the crowned provincial shield of the Province of Holland.
Please Note: The original plastic presentation holder shows noticeable scuffing and wear from storage and handling. The holder is included as-is, and the coin has not been removed from its original holder.
This is the exact coin and presentation holder you will receive. It will be carefully packaged and shipped to ensure it arrives safely.
