This authentic 2½ Cents coin from the Netherlands East Indies represents a significant piece of colonial history, minted during the reign of Queen Wilhelmina between 1914 and 1945. Struck in brass composition (95% copper, 5% zinc), this 31mm round coin weighs 12.5 grams and showcases the milled technique characteristic of early 20th-century coinage. The 1945 date makes this specimen particularly notable, as it marks the final year of Dutch colonial currency before Indonesia's independence. This coin circulated as standard currency in the Gulden system until its demonetization, making it a tangible connection to a pivotal historical transition. Collectors prize this denomination for its scarcity in high grades and its role in numismatic history. The brass composition and excellent milling details make it an attractive addition to colonial currency collections or East Indies-focused portfolios. Its historical significance—bridging the waning days of the Dutch East Indies and the dawn of Indonesian sovereignty—adds considerable appeal beyond its intrinsic metal value. Whether you're a serious numismatist or history enthusiast, this rare coin offers both aesthetic appeal and investment potential. --- #
