Strafgevangenis Ommerschans, huismunt geslagen op last van de Maatschappij van Weldadigheid ter waarde van 1 cent before 1830

This small, silver coin was created before 1830 for use within the Strafgevangenis Ommerschans, a prison located in the Netherlands. It was produced by the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid, a charitable organization. The coin features the inscription "1 C" on one side and "C 1" on the reverse, indicating its value of one cent. This coin is a fascinating example of the use of currency in a controlled environment and a reminder of the history of the penal system in the Netherlands.
