Strafgevangenis Ommerschans, huismunt geslagen op last van de Maatschappij van Weldadigheid ter waarde van vijf cent before 1830

This silver coin, dating from before 1830, was minted for the "Maatschappij van Weldadigheid" (Society of Benevolence), a Dutch organization focused on social reform. The coin was used within the Ommerschans penal colony, a model prison built by the society. It features the number "5" and the letter "C," representing its value of five cents. The coin, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, offers insight into the social and economic practices of the time.
