Since world war II was going on in the Netherlands, it was decided to move the mint dies to the USA and ask the US mints to produce the necessary coinage. At the right of the date on this coin you can see a D as mint sign, which means that this coin was produced in Denver, USA. However, on the left of the date you can see a palm tree as mint master sign. This mint master sign was created by the Dutch Mint for all mints that were issued from the USA towards other regions than the main land (meaning the Dutch Antilles)
