Interesting fact

The 1944-1947 Wilhelmina ⅒ Gulden coin from Curaçao (Netherlands Antilles) was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was introduced in 1944, just a year after the Dutch government-in-exile had established a temporary administration in Curaçao during World War II. The coin was used as a substitute for the Dutch guilder, which was the official currency of the Netherlands at the time. The use of the Wilhelmina coin in Curaçao and other parts of the Netherlands Antilles was a symbol of the region's economic and political autonomy during a time of great upheaval.
