That is a nice little coin. I would grade it VF-30 myself, though it is always difficult with such small coins.
The value is not especially high for this one. 120 000 000 were produced so it is not particularly scarce...Krause gives VF $0,75 and EF $1,25. Even in BU quality it is not worth more than $3.

Well, there are 3 different listings for 1944 and it does not differentiate between them.
Coin Mintage FINE VF XF UNC BU
1944 120,000,000 0.50 0.75 1.25 2.00 3.00
1944 25,400,000 1,200.00 3,000.00 6,000.00 11,000.00 15,000.00
Note: Almost entire issue melted
1944 64,040,000 1.00 2.00 4.50 15.00 30.00
So.. which one do we have here? |

G'day, as the Netherlands were occupied in 1944, I'm wondering if the different issues might be "local" AND from a "Government in Exile".
Although in the latter case, I wonder where the coins might have circulated: in some colonies perhaps ?

Scarce issue is "D" mintmark, in Curacao 1/10 gulden and 1/4 gulden silver starting 1944 with "D" minmark instead 10 cents and 25 cents... maybe.

Nice little coin KM# 163, I'd grade it EF-40 with a value of about $1.25.

thank you, bobo13, but please, is that the first, second, or third in that Krause list I listed? (none reference mint marks - although they need to!)

According to my Krause:
first is 1944P
second is 1944D
third is 1944S
These coins were intended to circulate immediately after the war in the homeland.
Coins intended for use in the colonies received a palm tree mark instead of the acorn mark.

By late 1944 some parts of Holland had been liberated. Operation Market Garden in september 1944 liberated a part of the country, then the rest was liberated in March 1945. So it is possible that these were the coins circulating in the freed areas during this time!

Looks like I need to brush up on my history lessons. Funny though that one of my favorite topics (other than coins) is history yet I never seem to know or understand the monetary changes that have happened.
thank you for all the comments. I LOVE getting the education from it.

During WW2 two kinds of "Dutch" coins were made - those produced in occupied Utrecht (zinc pieces, no royal effigy) and those made in the US. The latter were minted in Denver (D mintmark), Philadelphia (P) and San Francisco (S). Here are all the US-made pieces:
1941 P/p (800,000) for Suriname and Neth. Antilles
1942 P/p (1,500,000) ditto
1943 P/p (4,500,000) for Suriname
1943 P/e (mintage unknown) for the Netherlands
1944 P/e (120,000,000) ditto - this is yours -
1944 S/e (64,040,000) ditto
1944 D/e (25,400,000) ditto*
1945 P/e (90,560,000) ditto*
The lowercase p refers to the "palmboom" (palm tree) sign, the e is for the "eikel" (oak acorn) sign. The last two issues, marked with an asterisk, are rare and expensive.
