Netherlands East Indies
Dutch Administration gold Proof Pattern 2-1/2 Cents 1945 PR68 Cameo NGC, cf. KM316, cf. Scholten-932. Obv. Crowned arms of the Netherlands divides the date 19-45. Rev. Inscription in Javanese and Malayan script. A very small "124" is counterstamped on the obverse near the stop by the E of INDIE. Essentially flawless, with fully mirrored fields and nice cameo contrast. The regular issue of this type was struck at the Philadelphia mint, with the corresponding "P" mintmark. Conjecture is that this off-metal strike, without the mintmark, was produced in the Netherlands after 1945. This is the finest example of the gold type we have seen, and the finest certified example.
