This small, leaden coin was minted between 1818 and 1859 for the Veenhuizen penal colony, a project of the Society of Benevolence, or Maatschappij van Weldadigheid. The coin, worth half a cent, features the letters "MW" (for Maatschappij van Weldadigheid) on one side and "V1" for "Veenhuizen 1" on the other. It is an important artifact of Dutch social history, representing the harsh realities of the penal colony and the work of the Society of Benevolence.
