So far I have not been able to find this in my Krause - it is quite a bit out of my normal expertise. Not necessarily the best of pictures just a quick pic with my phone

Mine either, but the symbol above the "V" is the mint mark.

1732 Gelderland VOC Duit, listed under Netherland East Indies. KM#50.1, common coin, worth $5 at most.

Thanks Dennis!

That explains it - I had assumed it was Gelderland from the shield and legend but my version of Krause does not include 50.1, just 50.2

Mintmark is a mountain for mintmaster Johan Hensbergen

standard mintage is in copper , but this one looks like silver ? ?

Looks like copper to me, at least the first image resembles my well-worn Britannia pennies circa late 19th century. I'll bet it has that lovely smooth buttery oily feel under your fingers, too
