Strafgevangenis Ommerschans, huismunt geslagen op last van de Maatschappij van Weldadigheid ter waarde van 25 cent c. 1822 - 1830

This is a 19th-century Dutch prison token, a type of currency used within the Strafgevangenis Ommerschans prison. Minted by the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid, a philanthropic organization, the token bears the inscription "25 C" representing a value of 25 cents. This small, circular token, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides insight into the historical use of token currencies within prison systems.
