Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Cent - Willem III (Pattern) 1875-1877 from Netherlands made of Gold (.900) weighing 10.35g is that it was designed by Dutch engraver and artist, Joseph Ferdinand Helman. Helman was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for the Pattern 1 Cent coin features a portrait of King Willem III on the obverse side, with a crowned shield and a wreath of leaves on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1875 and 1877, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
