Strafgevangenis Ommerschans, huismunt geslagen op last van de Maatschappij van Weldadigheid ter waarde van vijf cent before 1830

This is a five-cent coin, created before 1830, that was minted for use in the Dutch penal colony of Ommerschans. The coin, made by an anonymous artist, features a circular design, with the number "5" and "C" embossed on one side, and a stylized "S" on the other. The coin was minted on the orders of the Society of Benevolence, and is now housed in the Rijksmuseum. This type of coin is an example of numismatic art and provides insight into the history of Dutch penal colonies and the currency used in those institutions.
