1943 Netherlands Curacao Dutch Caribbean 5 Cent - AU/UNC - Oversees Territories - Queen Wilhelmina - WWII Issue

This listing is for the photographed 1943 Netherlands Curacao Dutch Caribbean 5 Cent - AU/UNC. 

During World War II, the Netherlands was occupied by Germany, while the Dutch government and Queen Wilhelmina were operating from exile. Dutch coin production was disrupted, so the Allies arranged for certain Dutch coins to be produced in the United States. The 1943 5-cent piece was specifically an overseas issue, intended for circulation in the Dutch Caribbean/overseas territories. Catalog sources specifically distinguish the 1943 coin from the normal Dutch 5-cent series and list it under Curaçao.
