Just picked this Silver Netherlands 25 Cent coin up today, the coin has been cleaned but still looks good

The palm tree privy mark denotes this as a coin of the Netherlands government in exile issued for Curacao, a Netherlands colony, and coined by the Philadelphia mint (the P mint mark). There were also 1943 twenty five cent pieces coined by the Philadelphia mint for the Netherlands homeland, but they have an acorn privy mark. WWII coins are really interesting.
