Dutch Colony. Wilhelmina gold Proof Off-Metal Strike 2-1/2 Cents 1945 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC, cf. KM316. Countermarked with a small "401" after the E in INDIE. The regular issue coinage of this date was struck at a U.S. mint with the corresponding P, D, or S mintmark, or other privy mark. This example does not have a mintmark and it is speculated that the few known examples of this issue in gold were struck in the Netherlands, after 1945. A gem example with superb contrast between the fields and devices.
