This 10-cent token was made for the prison in 's-Hertogenbosch between 1824 and 1831 by the Dutch artist Hendrikus Wansink. These tokens, also called huismunt, were used as currency within the prison walls. The token, which is only 2.9 cm in diameter, shows the number 10 and the abbreviation "s.c." on one side. This unique artwork is an example of prison art, a genre focusing on the lives and experiences of those incarcerated.
