This small, circular coin, known as a "huismunt," was used as currency in the Veenhuizen penal colony in the Netherlands between 1818 and 1859. The coin, made by an anonymous artist, features the inscription "MVW ½ C" on one side, standing for "Maatschappij van Weldadigheid" (Society of Benevolence) and half a cent, respectively. The other side depicts the number "V2." This small object offers a glimpse into the economic system of a penal colony in the 19th century.
