BAC42 - NON-FERROUS

Broome Aircraft Wrecks

NON-FERROUS artefact recovered from Broome Aircraft Wrecks

Coins - Three 2 1/2 Guilder coins, in varying states of erosion – 192?, 1937 and 193?. All presumably hold the same markings. Same embossing as with BAC18. Obverse side reads “WILHELMINA KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN”. The Reverse side reads “MUNT VAN HET KONINGRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN”. Although both faces of the each coin are damaged, the coins would have had a privy mark to the left of the Kingdom of the Netherlands coat of arms and the mint mark of the Royal Dutch Mint – the caduceus – to the right. Some variations in privy mark are noted: the 192? coin has a seahorse privy mark; the 193? coin appears to have a grapes privy mark.
