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

This small, circular token, created between 1818 and 1859, was used as currency in the penal colony of Veenhuizen. Commissioned by the Society of Benevolence, the token was made to be used within the colony and bears the initials "K.V." and the number 10, denoting its value of ten cents. The token is an example of early Dutch numismatics and offers a glimpse into the history of the penal system.
