Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Cents Wilhelmina coin from Indonesia (Netherlands East Indies) is that it was designed by a Dutch artist named Joseph Ozanne. He was a well-known sculptor and engraver who also designed several other coins for the Netherlands and its colonies. The coin features a portrait of Queen Wilhelmina on one side and a depiction of a Javanese temple on the other, which reflects the cultural influences of the region.
