1942 zinc 2½ cent world coin from the Netherlands, depicting Wilhelmina, not certified.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

One of the rarest coins of the kingdom, housed in a beautiful plastic case from PCGS with an authenticity guarantee from PCGS. These zinc WWII coins, minted during our occupation with a print run of 200,000 pieces, were mostly melted down, with only a few remaining; this one has survived the melting furnace (or perhaps fell beside it).
Qualitatively, this is the second most beautifully graded specimen at PCGS. Unfortunately, the price is not affordable for everyone, and this will also be the most expensive item we are auctioning during our 10th anniversary celebration this week.

Front side: Frisian owl badge - Netherlands
Reverse side: 2½ cents with four waves and two ears of wheat, below which is 1942.

Material: Zinc - Zn
Weight: approx. 2.80 grams excluding slab.
Reference: Schulman 1038
Slab number: PCGS - 766882.62/45921235
Population: 1/1 only 1 higher graded.
Quality: MintState 62 Nb! The coin has light corrosion spots, which is common for zinc coins that are 80 years old. Since it is not a circulation coin, it still received a grade of MS62.
