VOC stands for something in Dutch - but I can;t remember what exactly off the top of my head, My Papal States coin collection: https://diadumenian.com/Papal%20Sta...0States.html Medieval coins collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Europe.html Indian Rupee Collection: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...0Rupees.html Minor world Silver: https://diadumenian.com/Congressofp...20coins.html Report this Post to the Staff

VOC coins were struck for Dutch possessions in Indonesia and Sri Lanka/India. Given that this coin looks particularly thick for its size, I would guess it is an Indian one. 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
