1790 VOC New York Penny ⚓ NGC Genuine Dutch East India Co Colonial Coin
The Dutch East India Company, known as the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie), was one of the most influential trading organizations in world history. Its copper duiten circulated throughout the Dutch commercial empire and eventually found their way into Colonial America, where they became familiar currency in daily commerce.
This 1790 VOC New York Penny represents one of the most iconic colonial trade coin types associated with Dutch influence in early America. Although struck for use within the Dutch trading system, VOC duiten circulated extensively in New Netherland and New York, earning the nickname "New York Penny" among collectors and historians.
Certified by NGC as Genuine, this example offers collectors an authentic piece of eighteenth-century Dutch colonial coinage and a tangible connection to the economic foundations of Colonial New York.

A Short Story for Collectors
Founded in 1602, the Dutch East India Company became one of the first multinational corporations and helped establish global trade networks spanning Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Its famous VOC monogram remains one of the most recognizable symbols in numismatic history.
VOC duiten frequently circulated beyond their intended markets and became a familiar part of commerce in Dutch North America. Even after New Netherland became New York, these practical copper coins continued to circulate, leading later collectors to nickname them the "New York Penny."
Today, VOC New York Pennies remain highly sought after because they connect Dutch colonial history, early American commerce, and one of the world's most influential trading companies in a single collectible artifact.
