Sap Moderator Australia 16832 Posts	Posted 07/27/2008 01:55 am VOC stands for the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, or United East Indian Company, the Dutch trade company which ran the Dutch colonies in Asia, South Africa and the Indian Ocean. At the time, the Netherlands was a republic, a federation of smaller states which each had their own coinage, and VOC coins were issued in the names of several different states up until the Napoleonic wars of the late 1700's. If the coin is US-penny-sized, it's likely to be a duit. There's a pic of a 1735 duit on the wikipedia page. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

kuhli Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 07/27/2008 11:35 am As Sap mentioned, the VOC was a Dutch company that operated throughout the Dutch possessions. The coins they issued were primarily for use in the Dutch East Indies, (modern day Indonesia). If you have reference materials that cover the time that this coin was issued, check the listings from Indonesia. Report this Post to the Staff
