Historical significance

This coin was part of the final series of 1 cent coins minted in the Netherlands before the denomination was discontinued in 1980 due to its low value and rising production costs. The design features the classic Dutch royal lion, which has been a symbol of the country since the 16th century.

Estimated value

$0.05 - $1.00 USD (depends on condition; mostly holds sentimental or bulk value)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place to prevent 'bronze disease' or oxidation. Handle by the edges to avoid transferring oils from skin, and do not clean with abrasive chemicals as this can destroy the coin's numismatic value.
