Interesting fact
The 5 Cents 1948 coin from Curaçao (Netherlands Antilles) features a unique design on its reverse side. It depicts a traditional Dutch windmill, which is a nod to the island's Dutch colonial history. The windmill is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, adding to the coin's aesthetic appeal. This design was used on several other coins from Curaçao during this time period, but the 5 Cents denomination is particularly sought after by collectors due to its relatively low mintage.
