1 Cent - Juliana 1965 NETHERLANDS (416G)

Description: Guilder, former monetary unit of the Netherlands. In 2002 the guilder ceased to be legal tender after the euro, the monetary unit of the European Union, became the country’s sole currency.The one-cent coin was a coin struck in the Kingdom of the Netherlands between 1817 and 1980. The guilder emerged as the official currency of the Burgundian Netherlands after the 1434 monetary reform done under Philip the Good. The guilder was adopted as the Netherlands’ monetary unit in 1816, though its roots trace to the 14th century, when the florin, the coinage of Florence, spread to northern Europe, where it became known as the guilder. When the guilder was introduced in 1816, it replaced the French franc. It included an inscription (“God be with us”)—the guilder was among the first coins to bear an inscription—to help protect its value by discouraging people from shaving the coin’s precious silver. The Nazis abolished the guilder as the country’s currency when they occupied the Netherlands during World War II. Nevertheless, the exiled government promised that the currency would be legal after the war. The government-in-exile had millions of silver coins minted in the United States, and, after the country was liberated from the Nazis, people again began melting down the currency to use the silver. In 1948 the government introduced nickel coins.Juliana (Juliana Louise Emma Marie Wilhelmina 1909 – 2004) was Queen of the Netherlands from 1948 until her abdication in 1980.OBVERSE: Portrait of Queen Juliana facing rightLettering: JULIANA KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN •Translation: Juliana, Queen of the NetherlandsEngraver: Ludwig Oswald WenckebachREVERSE: Face value and year in the center of the coin.Automatically translatedLettering: 1 1958 CENTEngraver: Ludwig Oswald WenckebachEDGE: SmoothDesigner : Ludwig Oswald Wenckebach (1895-1962), was a Dutch sculptor, painter, and medallist.
