Netherlands 1950 25 cents

from the Stonecat Collection

Queen Wilhelmina abdicated in 1948 in protest of Dutch colonial policy in Indonesia in favor of her daughter, Juliana, who would rule until 1980. New coin types were therefore necessary and were introduced in 1950. This nickel twenty-five cents was struck 1950-51, 1954-80. No dates are rare although some of the proofs are very scarce.

Recorded mintage: 38,400,000 plus proofs.

Specification: 3 g, nickel, 19 mm diameter, reeded edge.

Catalog reference: KM 183, Sch-1135.
