b0ssy11 New Member Australia 16 Posts	Posted 09/14/2022 08:19 am I am wondering if any of you coin people might know as to why there is no mintage of the 25 cent and 10 cent Dutch coins of 1952. I have tried to search up for this reason and have had no help there. I have a few reasons as to why but would like to have an official reason. I am hunting down a coin set for my Dad's 70th this year, it's a bit difficult haha. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Since those Dutch 10 and 25 cent coins were pure nickel, it would account for them not being issued. I can only assume that lack of demand made the Dutch mint decide not to issue them in a new metal.

The Netherlands issued large numbers of 1, 5, 10 and 25 cent coins in 1948 when the country introduced a completely new set of coins following WW2, replacing the ugly zinc coins issued by the Nazis. Then further new coins were required in 1950 with the accession of the new Queen Juliana - it's also quite possible that the wartime zinc coins were not withdrawn immediately but were phased out over three or four years. Therefore maybe by 1952 Dutch banks had huge stocks of 10c and 25c coins and there was no need to issue any that year.

Also odd that the proof sets don't seem to have ever included the 1c piece at that time. Report this Post to the Staff
