Catalogue information
In 1999 the municipality of Zaanstad exists 25 years. On the occasion of this anniversary, Zaanstad will receive its own payment coin: the Zaanse Klop. The name is derived from the 'knock', a mint mark used to indicate the validity of currencies in certain cities or areas in earlier days. In total there are seven different versions of the Zaanse Klop: one for each place of residence within the municipality. Every Zaanse klop is a valid means of payment worth five guilders throughout the municipality from 20 March to the end of September 1999. the complete series of the seven Zaanse Kloppen in this exclusive collector's set is a unique souvenir and a valuable reminder of a festive year.
