This small, circular, lead token, created by Dutch artist Hendrikus Wansink, served as a form of currency for inmates at the prison in 's-Hertogenbosch between 1824 and 1831. Its inscription reads "½C", signifying its value as half a cent. This token is a unique example of prison art and a glimpse into the social and economic conditions of the time. It also showcases Wansink's versatility as an artist, as he was known primarily for his drawings and paintings.
