The Dutch 5 cent coin struck during the World War II German occupation was a unit of currency in the Netherlands.
After pre-war 5 cent coins had been demonetised in 1950, it turned out that a very large amount was still unaccounted for. Therefore a second chance to return the coins was given to the public in March 1951.
The following amount of coins has been struck.
