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

This small, circular metal token, known as a "huismunt," was used as currency within the Strafgevangenis Ommerschans prison in the Netherlands. The coin, made of metal and only 3 centimeters in diameter, bears the inscription "1-C" on one side and "D-I" on the other. The coin was created by the Maatschappij van Weldadigheid, a philanthropic organization that oversaw the prison system in the Netherlands during the 19th century. While the coin is small, it is a significant artifact reflecting the history of prison reform and social welfare efforts in the Netherlands.
