Eligius Valued Member Netherlands 176 Posts	Posted 03/24/2021 3:02 pm Some years ago unofficial copies were made of the 5 types of war time zinc coins of the Netherlands for sale as a set to collectors. These were issued by a private party. These replicas are not made of zinc but of another white metal (copper-nickel or stainless steel). The upper coin you show is one of these replica pieces. I did have some of these sets but I did not keep them. Report this Post to the Staff
Eligius Valued Member Netherlands 176 Posts	Posted 03/24/2021 3:22 pm I found some photo's of such a set of replicas. The issuer is "Muntclub" (Coin club). Included is a certificate of authenticity a a listing of the specification. The metal is given as copper-nickel-zinc. The weight is not given.
