Tweede gesticht van de kolonie Veenhuizen, huismunt geslagen op last van de Maatschappij van Weldadigheid ter waarde van twintig cent 1818 - 1859

This is a small, round coin, or token, from the Veenhuizen colony in the Netherlands. It was created between 1818 and 1859 as a form of currency for the colony, which was founded by the Society of Benevolence (Maatschappij van Weldadigheid). The coin, minted by an anonymous artist, is a valuable artifact that represents the history of social reform and penal colonies in the Netherlands. The coin's inscription, "K.V." stands for "Kolonie Veenhuizen" and the "20" represents the value of the coin. The coin is currently in the collection of the Rijksmuseum.
