Original 1700s copper VOC Duit issued by the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie), struck at the Holland mint. These coins circulated throughout the Dutch colonial world and are well known for their presence in colonial North America — especially New York — where they are commonly referred to as the “New York Penny.”

On this example, the date is worn or no longer legible, which is common for heavily circulated duits of this era. Holland-minted VOC duits were produced throughout the 18th century, and pieces like this saw extensive use in everyday trade. Struck in copper, these coins reflect the vast maritime and commercial reach of the Dutch Republic and remain tangible artifacts of early global commerce and colonial-era exchange.
