Interesting fact
The Pattern ¼ Cent - Wilhelmina 1934 coin was designed by the Dutch artist and sculptor, Joseph Mendes da Costa, who was known for his work in the Art Deco style. The coin features a portrait of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands on one side and a depiction of a traditional Indonesian dancer on the other. The coin was minted in 1934 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new design. It is made of copper and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
