Countermark circular CURACAO on U.S. large cent.Interesting fact
The 1 Cent (Countermarked) ND (1815) from Curaçao (Netherlands Antilles) made of Copper is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in the region. The coin was countermarked with a stamp of the Dutch East India Company, indicating that it was issued as a form of emergency currency to address a shortage of coinage. This coin is a unique example of how currency has been used throughout history to address economic challenges.
