Derde gesticht van de kolonie Veenhuizen, huismunt geslagen op last van de Maatschappij van Weldadigheid ter waarde van 1 cent 1818 - 1859

This coin, created by an anonymous artist, is a one-cent piece minted by the Society of Benevolence (Maatschappij van Weldadigheid) for the colony of Veenhuizen. The coin, dated between 1818 and 1859, features the inscription “3-G K.V” on one side, and a coat of arms on the other. It was a form of currency used within the colony, highlighting the Society's efforts to establish a self-sufficient community for the poor and unemployed. The coin's small size and simple design reflect its intended use as a form of internal exchange within Veenhuizen.
