This small, round coin, minted in the Netherlands between 1818 and 1859, was used in the penal colony of Veenhuizen, established by the Society of Benevolence. It was made of lead and bears the inscription "M.V.W 5. CT" on one side and "V3" on the other. The coin, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides a tangible link to the history of penal colonies and their unique monetary systems.
