A brief annotation
Royal Delft ® is an earthenware factory in the Netherlands in business since 17th century. The last remaining original factory. This coin has an original drawing by one of the painters at Royal Delft ® and the blue earthenware insert is handmade, hand painted by Royal Delft ® artist. VOC (Dutch East India Compagnie) was a shipping company around the same time the factory Royal Delft® was established. A unique artistic coin with great artist involved.
