Krause Question re: VOC coinage.

JoesMaName

Hi all,

Maybe someone here can clear this up for me, as it has vext me for some time now.

The following I believe to be somewhat common knowledge amongst many Darksiders.
Coins with a prominent VOC displayed on them typically in the 1700's were issued by the (Dutch?) East India company.
I myself have two such coins. Yet when I try to find them in my various Krauses, I can't. To be sure in the Name index
at the front of my Krause a listing is there for VOC/United East India Company, but when I go to the page indicated
the coins shown are rather tiny, crudely struck, and there's not one with a VOC on them to be seen...
Is there another section I can find these coins under? Or is Krause just listing semi-colonial issues and not referencing
at all the vast variety of VOC coins created by the company as trade coins?

Any information would be appreciated.

Here is an old VOC Thread that may help. I have one for my lions on coins collection

theboz11 thanks for the reply and pointing me to the thread,

It leads me to the Gelderland section of the Netherlands issues. But I still see no mention of VOC coinage in my Krause SCWC 2nd ed.
There are many that look similar to my example below



But where mine has VOC beneath and between the lions the Netherlands issues have the date.

In the 3rd ed Krause, your coin is listed under Netherlands East Indies-Zeeland as KM151.



2nd edition, listed under Indonesia-Netherlands East Indies-Zeeland(page 727), the Zeeland issue is not pictured.

Thank you DCH!

I'd been looking for that entry off an on for over two years...
