All my books are packed away for moving and there's just a handful of coins to be packed.

Can someone please tell me where this was minted please?



There's going to be lots of questions over the next month.
Thanks,
Bob

This is a VOC-duit (Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie - Dutch United East India Company); minted for Zeeland. The small castle between stars is the mintmark of mintmaster Pieter Kappeine (1721-1752).
A very good website for Dutch copper money is duiten.nl. Unfortunately it is in Dutch, but it is very detailed.

Here we go and you can differentiate all mints by refering this image.

Coin posted was minted in :ZEELAND.


Cheers ;D

Every experience, good or bad, is a priceless collector's item.

Thank you both, and particularly for duiten.nl . I grew up in South Africa so it's not too much of a challenge for me. I really should have recognised it as most of my VOC pieces seem to originate in Zeeland.
