At left, a 25 cent piece from the Netherlands. I just discovered it in a small plastic bag of coins sitting on my desk. I think my sister purchased it at a flea market, and most of the coins were Canadian with Elizabeth II on them. But THIS particular coin, marked 1980 “Juliana Koningin der Nederlanden”.

Fascinating! What does everyone else think? I think this is a lovely piece for my royal collection, my first European monarchy collectable. The back has a crown, which I find to be an attractive feature:

Below, I show the photo of a Mercury head dime, apparently a collector’s item as well. This is from 1942.
