KUENKER AUCTION SALE 429A separate catalog presents the second part of the Verschoor Collection. It contains coins from Dutch overseas territories, and is therefore all about the VOC, the Dutch East India Company. Its logo with the three well-known letters can be seen on many issues. Other silver coins that were created for long-distance trade in the Netherlands depict the so-called silver rider. It was so well-known that it was used as a countermark for Indish coins that were to be used for financial transactions in Batavia. -Garrett
